So is the "Korean War," and we have around 30,000 military personnel in Korea.
And WWII, with around 60,000 plus in Europe and 50,000 in Japan.
December 14, 2011:
"Barack Obama marked an end to a war he once described as "dumb" by declaring the conflict in Iraq a success and saying the last US troops will leave in the coming days with their "heads held high".
"The president told an audience of soldiers at Fort Bragg that the final pullout from Iraq after nearly nine years of war is a "historic" moment and that the country they leave behind is "an extraordinary achievement".
"Dozens of bases with American names that housed thousands of American troops have been closed down or turned over to the Iraqis. Thousands of tons of equipment have been packed up and shipped out. Tomorrow, the colours of United States Forces Iraq, the colours you fought under, will be formally cased in a ceremony in Baghdad," he said. "One of the most extraordinary chapters in the history of the American military will come to an end. Iraq's future will be in the hands of its people. America's war in Iraq will be over."
I guess you are not interested in posting EXACTLY what Bush said on the Lincoln.
I think it is wonderful that Hellarious facilitated that "extraordinary chapter" in "the history of American military" by voting for the authority for the invasion and standing by her husband while in the White House when he acknowledged the dangers posed by the former Iraqi government.....not to mention participating as the SOS in the final solution in Iraq that resulted in the success story of the Obaminable Adminstration. Her show piece for success in the upcoming election.
