You may think that the details of the SOFA are "Little extras", but I seriously doubt the troop subject to the agreement feel as cavalierly about it as you do.

Delaying the agreement until after the election would be a better
approach in my mind. Why tie the hands of the next President to the
many mistakes of this President?

I'll bet some of the little extras involve keeping a military presence in Iraq
for years to come. That, and some sort of oil deal that favored America's
oil companies. Most of all, the US Congress SHOULD be involved in the
final negotiations.
