Last US "Combat" Troops Leave Iraq

So the fighting is "officially" over. I have a beef with the BBC headline that said the last combat brigade "quit". Please ban all BBC radio and TV from your homes (which makes me sad).

I expect the 50K troops left there will stay near the bases/training camps. Heard some interesting things about the lack of an Iraqi Air force. A bit of an issue considering Iran has some payback? You remember the Reagan fueled (and funded) Iran/Iraq war, right? They called it payback for the hostage thing in the late 1970's. It was when Saddam H. learned to use those chemical weapons. A 1/2 Million people were killed in the war, which started September 1980 and ended in 1988. What else started in 1980 and ended in 1988? Reagan.

Actually, it was the way that Reagan got out of Afghanistan, which lead to the formation of al-Qaeda. Just wanted to thank Ronnie for 911. Well done you dead dumb ass, blew a good chance for peace in the middle east there. That "trickle down economics" was a piece of work too. I used to think you had been a good President, hind sight is not only 20/20, it can be sickening.
