Troops leaving Iraq.
Since the major news outlets haven't bothered to cover it. Today was the deadline for our troops to pull out of the major cities and towns in Iraq. Hope they can handle the shit on their own.

Edit: Apparently I fail at google.

Kinda nice to see it's down to 130,000 from the 250,000 when I was there.

I'm sure the General is a team player and would put on a good face to the press if Patreus told him he had to. I hope that isn't what happened. I hope the Iraqis can handle this themselves.

If it were me I'd have preferred a much slower draw down like we did in Germany and Korea. Our resolve to stay is the deterrent to assholes who want to blow shit up.

Re: Troops leaving Iraq.
the Iraqis said they could handle security on their own so us drawing down is the right move... we'll see how it goes.

Of course we cannot stay over their objections but we can question the wisdom of the request/demand.

It hasn't been getting MJ-level coverage, but I've seen it a few different places as well.

I may be just not paying enough attention, but it has been all over the news today....but no build up to the festivities today....I am quite liberal, but why has the media not been hyped about the recent news? I had to dig deep into Google to understand what is really going on today and what led up to it....why has there been no coverage?

Last I recall, it has been 50 years and we're still in Germany and South Korea, how slow do you want to go??
