Obviously going to ship them over to Afghanistan though, but hey for once I'm pleased with something the US has done.
Though,

The president put a brave face on it, claiming he was fulfilling an election promise to end the war, though he had actually been supporting the Pentagon's effort to make a deal with Iraq's prime minister Nouri al-Maliki to keep US bases and several thousand troops there indefinitely.
Obama needs to go...

Wait... Anyone else notice this?



The comments are dated around the same time as well. Does this mean the war has been over for 2 months? Or am I just reading this stupidly?

Depends what you mean by the war being over. According to the article posted here, the announcement about withdrawing troops by December 31st was made on Friday 21st October. The article isn't new: I believe troops started to come home yesterday when the flag was officially lowered. So, the war has been over for 2 months in the sense that it was officially announced to be over 2 months ago, but it's been over for 1 day in the sense that the flag has just been lowered and the troops have just started to come home.

The countdown begins. How long until they find another reason to invade a country?

Now let's pull the rest of the military from the rest of the world, and while we're at it, also stop using the US military as private security for corporations.

And and and! Once that's done, let's slash the defense budget by 80% and use the money we save by not playing World Police to fund better education and healthcare for Americans who need it, and pay off our foreign debt.
