Obama Heralds End of Iraq War | Drudge Retort: President Barack Obama heralded the end of the Iraq war Monday, telling Iraq's neighbors that the United States would remain a major player in the region even as it brings its troops home. "Our strong presence in the Middle East endures," Obama said. "And the United States will never waiver in the defense of our allies, our partners and our interests." About 1 million U.S. troops have cycled through Iraq since the war began almost nine years ago. Obama said the military can withdraw from Iraq "with honor and with their heads held high."
It speaks volumes that Iraq doesn't want American soldiers in their country, but our government presents the situation as if we are finally done rebuilding the country we destroyed unnecessarily.
