4 Soldiers Killed As We Finally End our War in Iraq

We still have Afghanistan to deal with, but at least they are finally pulling the troops out of Iraq. And now that we're done with them, I have to ask...what did we really accomplish over there? I will never short the brave men and women that fought for our country, they're not at fault. I'm wondering what our government was thinking? We went over there for oil? Soooo, where is it...Anyway, here's a report from Yahoo on the end of the Iraq war:

BAGHDAD – Four U.S. soldiers were killed in combat shortly before the American military completed a withdrawal from Iraq's cities, and the prime minister assured Iraqis that government forces taking control of urban areas on Tuesday were more than capable of protecting the country.

Nouri al-Maliki said in a televised address that "those who think that Iraqis are not able to protect their country and that the withdrawal of foreign forces will create a security vacuum are committing a big mistake."

The streets of Baghdad were relatively quiet, as the Iraqi government named June 30 National Sovereignty Day and declared it a public holiday.

The withdrawal that was completed on Monday was part of a U.S.-Iraqi security pact and marks the first major step toward withdrawing all American forces from the country by Dec. 31, 2011. President Barack Obama has said all combat troops will be gone by the end of August 2010.

In the attack Monday against U.S. forces, the military said the four soldiers who were killed served with the Multi-National Division-Baghdad but did not provide further details pending notification of their families. It said they died as a "result of combat related injuries." (Yahoo)
