so far, obama will honor status-of-forces agreement

From Obama's Iraq speech on Friday:

As I have long said, we will retain a transitional force to carry out three distinct functions: training, equipping, and advising Iraqi security forces, as long as they remain non-sectarian; conducting targeted counterterrorism missions; and protecting our ongoing civilian and military efforts within Iraq. Initially, this force will likely be made up of 35,000 to 50,000 U.S. troops. Through this period of transition, we will carry out further redeployments. And under the status-of-forces agreement with the Iraqi government, I intend to remove all U.S. troops from Iraq by the end of 2011.

So far, Obama intends to honor the SOFA. I would like to hear a little language, however, from both the administration and the media, acknowledging that Iraqis have at least some say whether foreign troops are occupying their country. They have formally asked us to leave. And we already agreed.
