US Forces Leave Iraq After Two Decades
Original: After Two Decades, U.S. Forces Leave Iraq to an Uncertain Future
The United States is ending its military presence in Iraq after roughly two decades, drawing a line under an engagement that began with the 2003 invasion. The departure leaves questions over Iraq's security, the balance of influence with Iran, and the future of counterterrorism operations against remnants of the Islamic State.
Why now: The end of a major two-decade American military presence marks a historic shift with major implications for Middle East security.
