We still have people there with guns, camo, and patches of the US flag, all of whom know there are people in the buildings around them plotting their demise. I think we are far from "done".
Thank god. Get those soldiers home. Thank you all for your service and remember those who lost their lives over there. I lost a good friend to that war and what was accomplished?

We're leaving behind a small force to train Iraqi forces. Combat wise, we're done. Under the agreement our remaining troops will have to be out of Iraq no later than December 30th, 2011.
Starting a war then leaving early forcing the British & coalition troops to sort it out, excellent :/mikegtfc
We're not leaving early and no one is forcing anyone else to stay there. Iraq is ready to stand on its own, or at least they feel ready to give it a go of their own, and they want us out, so it's time to get out.
the last combat troops have left this means no more breaking down doors and that... the combat troops are leaveing because thinks the iraq military can handle it now on

Assisting the Iraqi forces in counter-terrorism and training, but combat missions by the U.S. are done. you know that and you say it's officially done... umm ok you shouldn't say two things so what is it?
Now, to end the war: Carpet bombing, daisy cutters, predator drones, hellfire strikes, and a tactical nuclear warhead or two. Oh, and some AC-130 spookys or apache attack choppers with 40mm missiles.
There's still about 4,500 foreign special force soldiers in Iraq, ready to take the fight to the enemy in shadowy and classified operations. Unless you want to classify that as something special.

This is pretty much just another peacekeeping mission now(which the U.S. does all the time), not a war against anybody. Iraq War = over

[QUOTE="scorch-62"]You still haven't explained this to me.airshocker
You asked me to explain it to you? I must have missed it. The war was won very quickly. When that was finished we were fighting an insurgency. We haven't been fighting a war since I last deployed in 2007. Yeah, you probably didn't see it. I asked in my now-dead topic that I made about this last night.

Uh yeah, the war is over. All operations in regards to the war itself are over.
there are still about 50,000 troops left in Iraq, so i wouldn't say the U.S. is COMPLETELY done with Iraq, Those troops will be stationed there till May of next year when they will all be withdrawn from the area. But I am glad that majority of the soldiers will be coming back to their homes.

Where does that sound familiar?...I can't quite put my finger on it....oh yeah...VIETNAM and we all know how well THAT worked out.

My thinking exactly. Soldiers will still have to defend themselves if attacked. They're will be more american casualties for sure.
[QUOTE="GD-1369211121"] Um, how was it pointless? Have you forgotten 9/11?GD-1369211121
There is no known evidence that links Hussein to 9/11.
Well he's linked to Alcheida(sp?), That's all I need to know. Al-Qaeda? And no, Saddam Hussein was NOT linked to Al-Qaeda. Iraq and Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with 9/11, just letting you know.
