Good
May God be with the families of the ones that did not make it through and the ones that gave limbs, sight and minds and are still suffering. May we all never forget them or stop being grateful to the ones we can still say "Thank you for your service" to.


About time.

"We've paid a great price here, and it's a price worth paying," Dempsey said.
That's a bold statement.
Something tells me we'll be back before too long.....
Then the GOP will be like:
SEE TOLD YOU SO LOLZ
Soon.
The war has ended, but the occupation hasn't. There will always be a contingent in Iraq, just like every place else we've ever waged war.
Besides, someone has to protect our newly constructed embassy over there.
We've ensured our meddling in the middle east for a long time to come, thanks W. You were such a great man.

agreed its far form over and never will be , this jus another stunt by GOP to save face before election time .they are down sizing there is no doubt but its far far from over. I love my country, i love our military(the boys and girl who Sevres proudly) , but i totally disagree with our government on many issues .

BAGHDAD – The U.S. war in Iraq — a conflict that killed more than 4,000 American troops, cost $800 billion and divided the nation — officially ended with a ceremony held under tight security.
You do know a Democrat is President right?...
You should have posted- this is a stunt by the Obama administration to save face before his election due to his campaign promise of ending the Iraq war...
The real reason for the war "ending" is the end of the "U.S.-Iraq Status of Forces Agreement" ending this year...
Obama could not get the Iraqi gov. to extend the agreement...


They must have found the weapons of mass destruction.

Even if it is only an election year stunt by Obama, I'm glad the troops are coming home.
All the Americans lives lost there will make no different. They will go back to killing each other as soon as we withdraw.
So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
about another group that actually does something
to improve their lives.


I wonder what all we could have done with $800 billion dollars here in the USA?![]()
Memo to media: Bush set a timetable for withdrawal from Iraq | Media Matters for America
What a farce!
That's what I mean when I say both parties have the same agenda.
No win, here...
Jokes on us.

FYI
We built the largest embassy in the world there $700 million.
Its 104 acres the size of 80 football fields.
Now, it's time to take care of Iran and N.Korea.

I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.


the timeline that GWB used was the same one recommended by Congress. the troops may be leaving but there are more contractors than troops in Iraq at this point. the private security firms will be there for some time I imagine, along with the regulars in the cia. whatever government is in place will not last long.

I'll be happy when the money stops, too...
No more American Service men/women have to die or put themselves in harms way, very glad for that, except for the handful of secret operatives you know are still going to be there....but the money has to stop...
Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012


About damn time. Only took what, nine years?
It'll be interesting to see how long it takes for everything that has been done over the last 9 years to come unravelled.
Obama/Ayers 2012!!!
800 billion could've resurrected Louisiana. But let's spend that overseas.

It was longer than 8 fucking years...
And let's see how long this lasts. I think they just mean on terrorism...but still, it'll keep going on.
And to think I was gonna get deployed sometime soon. Damn. Glad they're done though


What has really been accomplished? Democracy? Iraqi freedom? Iraqi liberation? Saddam is dead, but he was never a threat in the first place. I agree w you that those fuckers are helpless and will slip into anarchy immediately, but we didn't really accomplish anything. At least nothing worth 800 billion dollars and 4,000 American lives.
