Iraq War

President Barack Obama finally made good on his 2008 campaign promise to end the war in Iraq. On Wednesday, the president was at Fort Bragg in North Carolina to welcome troops returning home from Iraq for the last time.

Early this morning (Thursday, December 15th, 2011) a ceremony called "Casing the Colors" was held in Iraq as the official ending to the nine-year mission. Yesterday at Fort Bragg, President Obama announced that all troops will be leaving Iraq.
