BAGHDAD -- (AP) Iraqi forces assumed formal control of Baghdad and other cities Tuesday after American troops handed over security in urban areas in a defining step toward ending the U.S. combat role in the country. A countdown clock broadcast on Iraqi TV ticked to zero as the midnight deadline passed for U.S. combat troops to finish their pullback to bases outside cities. "The withdrawal of American troops is completed now from all cities after everything they sacrificed for the sake of security," said Sadiq al-Rikabi, a senior adviser to Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. "We are now celebrating the restoration of sovereignty." Rest of the article is here www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/06/29/us-troops-to-withdraw-fro_n_222387.html

Didn't like nearly all the troops get re-deployed to Afghanastan a few months back or was that just the British?

Why did we go to Iraq in the first place again...? Because Saddam Hussein was responsible for 9/11.

Some girl in my English last year, for a public speaking exercise, said that we went to war with Iraq so we could stop them from invading the United States.

Where were those again? Maybe they overlooked them while they were drilling for oil. Let's be honest.
