US Combat Troops Leave Iraq

Postby The Master » Thu Aug 19, 2010 12:11 am

The last U.S. combat troops crossed the border into Kuwait on Thursday morning, bringing to a close the active combat phase of a 7½-year war that overthrew the dictatorial regime of Saddam Hussein, forever defined the presidency of George W. Bush and left more than 4,400 American service members and tens of thousands of Iraqis dead.


My heart goes out to all those that lost their loved ones in the service of their country. May they rest in peace.

Amen to that. I'm sure we can all give a sigh of relief that this is all but over and hopefully the Iraqis can take care of their country and the healing can begin. Least I know I won't be sent to Iraq now.

It is about time. Maybe I can get back up with some of my friends once again.
