WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States and the U.S.-backed government in Iraq have signed a formal agreement aimed at boosting economic ties between the two countries, the U.S. Trade Representative's office said on Monday.

The pact, which could lead to a free trade agreement between Washington and Baghdad, was signed during a meeting of the U.S.-Iraq Joint Commission on Reconstruction and Economic Development in Amman, Jordan.

The trade and investment framework agreement, or TIFA, establishes a joint council to work on a wide range of commercial issues, USTR said.

"Iraq is making a major effort to reintegrate into the international economy and the meetings of the joint council should assist Iraq in this important endeavor," Assistant U.S. Trade Representative Ashley Wills said in a statement.

4. If Bush wants to go to war with another country over

oil or other natural resources, fine, but be honest about it. Have a public debate about it. Tell the troops they'll be fighting for oil, or a standard of life and warm houses and SUV's. But don't lie to the American public and deceive and cook up phony terrorist attacks to justify doing something in our name that we don't want to have anything to do with.
