"By the will of God, the security pact will be signed in the very near future and Iraq will begin a new phase of reconstruction and stability, and I bless the efforts of the government in having the best draft agreement," wrote a commenter using the name Mohammed al-Iraqi.
Another wrote: "This is the best news I have ever heard, and inshallah [God willing] we will see the day when no foreign soldier exists in Iraq. Yes for freedom and equality and yes for democracy and no for militias."
There were also some negative comments.
"Has the Iraqi government taken the permission from Iran to sign the agreement?" asked a commenter called "Haider," identified as an Iraqi Turkmen. "What about Muqtada al Sadr? Will he be p****d off or what. How would you convince him?"
