US Troops Leave Iraq Twenty-Three Years After War Began
Original: Twenty-three years after the Iraq War began, US troops are gone
Twenty-three years after the 2003 invasion of Iraq, American troops have withdrawn from the country, Scripps News reports. The pullout closes a chapter on one of the longest US military engagements of the modern era, which toppled Saddam Hussein but was followed by years of insurgency, instability and continuing debate over the war's cost and legacy.
Why now: The final withdrawal of US forces marks a major milestone ending more than two decades of American military presence in Iraq.
