Depends if there are rifles pointed at their heads or not:
WASHINGTON — With its international mandate in Iraq set to expire in 11 months, the Bush administration will insist that the government in Baghdad give the United States broad authority to conduct combat operations and guarantee civilian contractors specific legal protections from Iraqi law, according to administration and military officials.
This emerging American negotiating position faces a potential buzz saw of opposition from Iraq, with its fragmented Parliament, weak central government and deep sensitivities about being seen as a dependent state, according to these officials.
...
You see, even though the Republican Crime Family has managed to loot our Treasury without accountability, they've failed to gain control over the Iraqi oil reserves. The agreement will allow Halliburton and their ilk to reap rewards long after the Chimp is a bad memory. Hey, gotta plan for retirement, don't ya?
...
At the same time, the administration faces opposition from Democrats at home, who warn that the agreements that the White House seeks would bind the next president by locking in Mr. Bush’s policies and a long-term military presence.
...
And a prolonged military presence means more government contracts. And you know who gets those*, don't ya?
