But a close parsing of the statement shows that Abawi and the government of Iraq are seeking to replace the existing United Nations-sponsored pact permitting U.S.-led forces in Iraq, establishing in its place a long-term, bilateral security agreement directly between Iraq and the United States. And while the proposed details have yet to emerge, similar U.S. agreements with other nations in the region - including Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar - have all involved...
