Obligatory American Pull-Out From Iraq Post
About the only thing that stands out here is the numbers:
Last U.S. troops leave Iraq, ending war
Last U.S. troops leave Iraq, ending war
"The last convoy of U.S. soldiers pulled out of Iraq on Sunday, ending nearly nine years of war that cost almost 4,500 American and tens of thousands of Iraqi lives and left a country grappling with political uncertainty."Don't let Lancet know.

Ah, good old Reuters. Being good European anti-American leftist collectivists, they rarely miss an opportunity to not get it.
Let's do a reality check of that introduction cum argumentative postulate.
To "The last convoy of U.S. soldiers pulled out of Iraq on Sunday, ending nearly nine years of war that cost almost 4,500 American and tens of thousands of Iraqi lives and left a country grappling with political uncertainty."
I add: "At enormous cost in American blood and American treasure, the American liberators completed their two-fold mission. This mission was liberating the Iraqi people from one of the world's most brutal dictatorships and giving the Iraqi people the protection and buttressing needed as the Iraqis built the foundations of their new democratic state. Complete with a written Constitution as liberal as any in Europe, this democracy is unique in the Arab world. In the years and decades ahead, as the Iraqi people build on this foundation of democracy and freedom, they will serve as the sole, badly needed hopeful example of a free, democratic nation in that oppressed corner of the world. All this is ultimately thanks to one man, former US President George W. Bush. Arab and Islamist tyrannies beware, thanks to George W. Bush, your days are now numbered!"
Reuters' lie is a lie and this truth is the truth.
On a single day, June 6, 1944, allied forces landing on the beaches of Normandy lost 8,443 men. A single day.
At least Reuters didn't ape the Lancet studies about Iraqi war dead numbers.
