The last few days the media have been reporting how the last combat brigade has left Iraq and entered Kuwait, thus signaling the end of combat operations in Iraq. To some, the long nightmare of the U.S. intervention is coming to a close, and by next year all U.S. forces will be out of Iraq.
The debate has begun-should we have even commenced military operations in the first place-and, was this war orchestrated by the Bush administration using false assumptions? History will be the final judge of U.S. involvement as the final chapter has yet to be written on what will be the outcome, while Iraq is still debating the organization of their government after having their elections just months ago.
Before partisan spin doctors debate the Iraq war, one first must look back at the debate and analyze the actions of members of both parties, not just one! Both parties voted for the war and both parties will have to answer to history for their actions!
It is unfortunate that the president has said very little about Iraq and really kept a hands off approach to Iraq, almost washing his hands of the whole situation. Again, history will be the final judge of U.S. military intervention in Iraq; but remember, the real winner in Iraqi is the U.S. military! There extraordinary efforts brought Iraq back from the brink, and now allow a nation to choose its own destiny.
Too bad no one will give them the credit they deserve!
