The War in Iraq Has Officially Come to a Close

U.S. War in Iraq Has Officially Ended

U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta

BAGHDAD (The Blaze/AP) — After nearly nine years, 4,500 American dead, 32,000 wounded and more than $800 billion, U.S. officials formally shut down the war in Iraq – a conflict that U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said was worth the price in blood and money, as it set Iraq on a path to democracy.

Panetta stepped off his military plane in Baghdad Thursday as the leader of America’s war in Iraq, but will leave as one of many top U.S. and global officials who hope to work with the struggling nation as it tries to find its new place in the Middle East and the broader world. Watch Panetta, among others, address the war’s conclusion:

He and several other U.S. diplomatic, military and defense leaders participated in a highly symbolic ceremony during which the flag of U.S. Forces-Iraq was officially retired, or “cased,” according to Army tradition.

The U.S. Forces-Iraq flag was furled – or wrapped – around a flagpole and covered in camouflage. It will be brought back to the United States.

“You will leave with great pride – lasting pride,” Panetta told the troops. “Secure in knowing that your sacrifice has helped the Iraqi people to cast tyranny aside and to offer hope for prosperity and peace to this country’s future generations.”

During several stops in Afghanistan this week, Panetta made it clear that the U.S. can be proud of its accomplishments in Iraq.

“We spilled a lot of blood there,” Panetta said. “But all of that has not been in vain. It’s been to achieve a mission making that country sovereign and independent and able to govern and secure itself.”

That, he said, is “a tribute to everybody – everybody who fought in that war, everybody who spilled blood in that war, everybody who was dedicated to making sure we could achieve that mission.”

U.S. War in Iraq Has Officially Ended

Panetta echoed President Barack Obama’s promise that the U.S. plans to keep a robust diplomatic presence in Iraq, foster a deep and lasting relationship with the nation and maintain a strong military force in the region.

As of Thursday, there were two U.S. bases and about 4,000 U.S. troops in Iraq – a dramatic drop from the roughly 500 military installations and as many as 170,000 troops during the surge ordered by President George W. Bush in 2007, when violence and raging sectarianism gripped the country. All U.S. troops are slated to be out of Iraq by the end of the year, but officials are likely to meet that goal a bit before then.

The total U.S. departure is a bit earlier than initially planned, and military leaders worry that it is a bit premature for the still maturing Iraqi security forces, who face continuing struggles to develop the logistics, air operations, surveillance and intelligence sharing capabilities they will need in what has long been a difficult neighborhood.

U.S. officials were unable to reach an agreement with the Iraqis on legal issues and troop immunity that would have allowed a small training and counterterrorism force to remain. U.S. defense officials said they expect there will be no movement on that issue until sometime next year.

U.S. War in Iraq Has Officially Ended

Still, despite Obama’s earlier contention that all American troops would be home for Christmas, at least 4,000 forces will remain in Kuwait for some months. The troops will be able to help finalize the move out of Iraq, but could also be used as a quick reaction force if needed.

Obama met in Washington with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki earlier this week, vowing to remain committed to Iraq as the two countries struggle to define their new relationship. Ending the war was an early goal of the Obama administration, and Thursday’s ceremony will allow the president to fulfill a crucial campaign promise during a politically opportune time. The 2012 presidential race is roiling and Republicans are in a ferocious battle to determine who will face off against Obama in the election.

Panetta acknowledged the difficulties for Iraq in the coming years, as the country tries to find its footing.

“They’re going face challenges in the future,” Panetta said Wednesday during a visit with troops in Afghanistan. “They’ll face challenges from terrorism, they’ll face challenges from those that would want to divide their country. They’ll face challenges from just the test of democracy, a new democracy and trying to make it work. But the fact is, we have given them the opportunity to be able to succeed.”

The ceremony at Baghdad International Airport also featured remarks from Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Gen. Lloyd Austin, the top U.S. commander in Iraq.

U.S. War in Iraq Has Officially Ended

Austin is leading the massive logistical challenge of shuttering hundreds of bases and combat outposts, and methodically moving more than 50,000 U.S. troops and their equipment out of Iraq over the last year – while still conducting training, security assistance and counterterrorism battles.

Over the coming days, the final few thousand U.S. troops will leave Iraq in orderly caravans and tightly scheduled flights – a marked contrast to the shock and awe that rocked the country on March 20, 2003, as the U.S. invasion began.

Saddam Hussein has been ousted, the reports of weapons of mass destruction largely laid to rest. And the future of a nascent democracy awaits.

    4,500 U.S,troops killed in 10 years . and , when all of the troops are pulled out, what did these troops die
    for. In WWII,in some battles, 4.500 were killed. That war lasted only 4 years.
    It seems as though our government wants us to forget about wars that were started while we had a Democrat for President. We must never forget that all of the U.S. troops who were killed in all of the wars we fought in died for one reason….our freedom

      The Iraq war was a war fought for the security of another nation, Israel. The Iraq war was not a fight for America’s national interests, otherwise the reasons given to promote the war would not have changed time after time. Were it a war for America, the reason would have been clear to all. As it was, Bush changed the excuse for war, weekly. A lie always requires more lies. The truth does not.
      Iraq did not, and could not threaten the United States. Israel is the problem.

    The draw done of troops in Iraq, is a smokescreen for the impending war with Iran. When economies fracture, war is the only option. Combine that with Iran’s suicidal mindset, China and Russia’s lust for world domination, and the 2nd biggest oil reserves basically under American control in Iraq, and you just about have the ingredients for the 3rd World War. Don’t take my word for it. Ted Koppel…, did a report on it just the other night, and all but got those staying behind in Iraq to admit it’s an oil and nuclear chess game. Being the gasoline gluttons we are here in America, it makes sense in an insane kinda way. We have a dirty government, but in war you have to play dirty. 2012 (if not sooner), will test the resolve of this nation as never before. We have at the very least a half dozen Hitler wannabes postured for taking down this country. Instead of staying tuned, tune your awareness.

      They all died or were injured for nothing-just like viet nam. iraq most likely would have toppled saddam as part of the arab uprisings in that region. now iraq and iran will possibly have relations . We have once again shown our hypocrisy as we murdered iraqis and tortured them and are ourselves a terrorist nation. Kudos for the iraqis for throwing us out rather then giving us a green light to murder more iraqis with impunity. if there were real justice there would be war crimes trials for americans.hopefully they’ll demolish that triumphalist embassy which proved to be a bogus triumphalism as we are being thrown out.God bless the iraqis and kudos to them for not submitting to our unjust terms. And for all our advanced weaponry-they fought back!

      Whether it was pushing for amnesty for illegals or starting two unnecessary wars, or both, George Bush, the Idiot Prince, single-handedly destroyed the Republican majority in Congress and was more responsible for the black racist getting in office than any other single factor. To be sure, fat man Karl Rove and war monger Dick Cheney, were encouraging him all the way, But, in the last analysis it was the work of the Idiot Prince.

      All those thousands of American men killed and maimed amounts to no less than a criminal act.

      And now they’re saying the Iraq war is over.

      @ Rose You remind me of Jane Fonda. If America is so bad, why don’t you go live in Iraq? Yes, this war was dragged on to long and wasted tons of cash. All anyone needed to do is look back in history and see what happened to other countries that fought in the region for an extended period of time. Just as a reminder, we were attacked on 9-11 and a response was necessary. I’m a scorched earth kinda guy be damn the collateral damage. Get in, get it done and then get out. As far as torture, what would you preffer, have a group video tape you as they hack your head off or get waterboarded? You side with radicals that want me and mine dead just because our addresses are located in this country.

And if you‘re a scorched earth kind of guy then you can’t complain when you get some blowback for your murderous policies toward others via a9-11 say.When your calling card is shock and awe you can‘t say you’re there for the people. We were there cause after alquada attacked us we feared they might topple the saudi royals and that would be a problem for us and our oil supply. iraq- being a secular society -we thought would welcome us after toppling their dictator and we could have a military base there as well as an oil supply without fear of fundamentalists like alquada . we underestimated the reality that they did not like shock and awe and occupation and fought back. because they’re men[and women] not mice.I hope they trade with iran..
