BAGHDAD, June 10 (UPI) -- Iraqi politicians are moving ahead with a plan to hold a national referendum on the country's security agreement with the United States, analysts say.
U.S. diplomats believe that such referendum would fail, setting up a situation in which U.S. forces could be forced to leave the country nearly a year-and-a-half earlier than the currently planned Dec. 31, 2011, exit date, The New York Times reported Wednesday.
