US military withdrawal from Iraq draws praise
Original: Three cheers for the US military withdrawal from Iraq
The announced withdrawal of US military forces from Iraq is being welcomed by analysts who argue it closes a costly and open-ended chapter of American involvement. Commentary highlights the end of a two-decade combat presence and suggests the drawdown reduces risks of escalation with Iran-backed militias while allowing Iraq greater sovereignty over its security affairs.
Why now: Fresh coverage of the US pullout from Iraq has reignited debate over the merits and risks of ending the American military presence there.
