U.S.-Iraqi Security Pact / Jerry Yang Steps Down
If Iraqi government officials approve the newest version of a U.S.-Iraqi security agreement, American combat forces would leave Iraqi cities, towns and villages by next July. All U.S. troops would be gone from the country by December 31, 2011. But Iraqi approval of the plan is anything but certain. We look at some of the challenges in the first half hour. In the second half hour, we discuss the resignation of Yahoo! founder Jerry Yang. Yang announced that he's stepping down this week after facing criticism for his handling of a proposed Microsoft takeover and partnership with Google. What does Yang's resignation mean for the Sunnyvale-based company?
