We're Outta Here!


Well, sort of.

The last combat unit, the 4th Brigade Stryker Combat Team of 2nd Infantry Division, left Iraq yesterday.

The Washington Post has the story:

Along with a similar story from DC Caller:

Meanwhile, the Seattle Times covers the story's local angle:

Despite this good news, US support troops will still maintain a presence in Iraq for the foreseeable future.
