US Combat Troops Finally Leave Iraq
Local Editor
Almost nine years after the US-led forces occupied Iraq, the last combat troops have left the country early on Sunday, completing their military withdrawal.
The US occupation forces had left the country after the Iraqi authorities refused to give impunity to any soldier that would stay on its land.
The last of approximately 110 vehicles carrying 500-odd soldiers traversed the border to Kuwait early on Sunday, leaving just a couple of hundred soldiers at the US embassy.
On Friday, Iraq took control of last US military base. There were less than 4,000 troops, a dramatic drop from the roughly 500 military installations and as many as 170,000 soldiers.
The US military invasion and occupation has left around a million Iraqis killed, according to the California-based investigative organization Project Censored.
Additionally, the occupation has left some 4,500 American troops dead and thousands more injured, reportedly costing Washington nearly a whopping trillion dollars in military expenditures.
