U.S.-Iraq security plan may fail

Over the weekend, protesters in Iraq voiced their discontent with the preliminary security plan. The United Nations resolution that governs the U.S. presence in Iraq expires at the end of 2008.

Dan Senor, of the Council on Foreign Relations, speaks with Martin Savidge about the implications of a failed U.S.-Iraq security pact.
