Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq, one chapter in U.S.-Iraqi relations closes and another chapter opens. This new chapter in U.S.-Iraqi relations after December is not an abandonment of Iraq. The United States remains committed to the bilateral Strategic Framework Agreement (SFA) which was entered into at the same time as the 2008 Security Agreement. The SFA sets out numerous areas for continued U.S.-Iraqi cooperation, including on defense and security issues. The United States has stood up a robust Office of Security Cooperation (OSC) at the U.S. embassy and sites across Iraq to manage security cooperation efforts in support of the Government of Iraq. By January of next year, this office will be administering nearly 370 military sales to Iraq, totaling nearly $10 billion.
