Pay no attention to the stupid media who are deliberately portraying it that way.
The Iraqis are jubilant because they feel ready to stand on their own. This is a big step for them. And the leaders have all given credit to the coalition forces for this in their speeches - to rousing cheers from the people.
And we're not leaving. Combat troops are merely pulling out of the city centers and relocating to outskirt areas. The troops involved in training and other transition activities are still located in the city centers if that is where their AOR is. That includes us civilians who are working with our troops on this effort.

Thank you Allegra
This is just one of many examples of the dishonesty in the reporting of most of the MSM. It is very hard to get the truth out there with obama and gang and their enablers in the media.
Thanks for giving us the facts on the ground there. Guess it made a better story the other way.
