Thank goodness Obama doesn’t take office for another 19 days – had he his way on this, we would have left 9 months ago, in disgrace:
The U.S. formally transferred control of the Green Zone in Baghdad to Iraqi authorities Thursday in a pair of ceremonies that also handed back Saddam Hussein’s former palace.
Iraq’s prime minister said he will propose making Jan. 1 a holiday marking the restoration of sovereignty.
Under the security agreement between Washington and Baghdad to replace a U.N. mandate for foreign troops in Iraq, the Iraqi government also now has control of American troops’ actions and of the country’s airspace.
The moves came amid a dramatic fall in violence over the past year.
Think about that MSM bias – “a dramatic fall in violence”…how about, “due to the Iraqi-American victory”? Or is that just too hard to admit?
