NEAR THE IRAQ-KUWAIT BORDER — The last U.S. combat troops were crossing the border into Kuwait on Thursday morning, bringing to a close the active combat phase of a 7?_-year war that overthrew the dictatorial regime of Saddam Hussein, forever defined the presidency of George W. Bush and left more than 4,400 American service members and tens of thousands of Iraqis dead.
The final convoy of the Army??s 4th Stryker Brigade Combat Team, based at Fort Lewis, Wash., began entering Kuwait about 1:30 a.m. (6:30 p.m. Wednesday ET), carrying the last of the 14,000 U.S. combat forces in Iraq, said NBC??s Richard Engel, who has been traveling with the brigade as it moved out this week.
The departure marks the official end of Operation Iraqi Freedom, P.J. Crowley, a spokesman for the State Department, told msnbc TV. But while it is —an historic moment,?? he said, it is not the end of the U.S. mission in Iraq.
—We are ending the war ... but we are not ending our work in Iraq,?? he said. —We have a long-term commitment to Iraq.??
The long convoy began moving earlier this week, and as the last soldiers reached Kuwait after midnight, they said they were proud of their effort.
—We are done with operations,?? Lt. Steven DeWitt of San Jose, Calif., said as his vehicle reached Khabari Crossing on the border.
—This was a professional soldier??s job,?? he said, describing —a war that has defined this generation of military men and women."

About bloody TIME!!

This is still (open ended) situation) 7 and half a year out of originally 10 days war back in 2003??_ remember..?

These men and woman are getting back home with huge psychological problems..!

Do you think serving in an unjust/illegal war, obliterating millions of people (and not tens of thousands as reported) displacing 5 million others and creating refugees of any kind goes without punishments..??

You'll see??_

what next? iran?

Mexico, trust me, Mexico. Though I suspect that the Zetas (Mexican Cocaine Cartel/Paramilitary) know that American Civilian Militias, Revolutionary War style , from ALL OVER THE U.S. will be smoking them right and left if they fuck with us. I intend on either joining and training with the Ohio Patriot Guard, then volunteer in Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, maybe even California (hopefully I get to smoke some Cali chronic!) or just going down to Arizona, train, then fight in the Arizona Citizen Militia. Army National Guard may even be there to fight in the near future.

Also, Iran has a new class of missile, and they are getting Uranium for their Bushehr Nuclear Reactor from Russia. Welcome to Cold War II ladies and gentlemen.

If Iran keeps fucking around Isreal will make it a fucking parking lot. The U.S.A. need to close down its boarders to protect its self. England needs a set of balls also we need to start weeding out our country also.

Yeah, I was considering that lately as well. They're really out of fucking control at this point.
We were looking for a reason anyways, imo.

I read a few days ago that the Border Patrol is backing off from parts of the Border, too dangerous. That's where private citizen militias come in. They are are no doubt asking for and getting ammo, guns, support, and the best part is no matter where they are, they're pretty much in friendly territory, like the IRA in Ireland during The Troubles. They (American Militias) are also far less restrained by law on all levels than mil units. England stands not much of a chance against invaders since y'all threw away your gun rights. Nanny state FTL!

Aaaannnnddddd welcome to Revolutionary War II! The CIA will WILT if our people fully figure that that is so. Also, if and perhaps WHEN WWIII peaks, it just may be a global civil war.

Yeah, Google Cardinal Climax. ROUGH SHIT!!!
