Snip:
The US military has completely withdrawn from Iraq, DPA reported on 27 September, citing an Iraqi government official.
All US combat troops and logistical support forces have left the country, the official told the German news agency on Sunday.
[…]
Before the withdrawal, US forces had reduced their presence in Iraq, which first began with the illegal invasion of the country ordered by former president George Bush in 2003.
US forces were stationed in Erbil in the Kurdish autonomous region, at a base near Baghdad Airport, and in the Green Zone, a fortified area of the capital home to the parliament and US embassy.
Never should’ve been there in the first place.
And then the next best time to not have been there was when Iraq democratically (because that’s been SO important) voted for the troops to leave, and then the next best time was the SECOND time Iraq democratically voted for them to leave
Because spreading democracy there was so important
