The war in Iraq is over

A 45-minute ceremony  took place in Iraq today as the United States declared an official end to its nine-year war in Iraq.

4,000 American troops currently remain in the country at two military bases, as compared to the war’s peak in 2007, when 170,000 troops populated 505 bases. By the end of 2011, combat troops will be withdrawn completely.

Funny, but I don’t hear a lot of cheering about this so I will cheer.  YAY.  Finally!  This ill-conceived, unjustified, illegal war is over.

Welcome home brave soldiers.
