Mixed Emotions As the Last U.S. Combat Brigade Leaves Iraq

Watching MSNBC as Richard Engel, our generation's Ernie Pyle, leaves Iraq for Kuwait embedded with the last American combat brigade. Very mixed emotions: elated that our combat mission has (cross my fingers) ended, but still and forever ang...ry that America was led under false pretenses into an unbelievably expensive war (both in terms of American and Iraqi lives and American treasure) by the lies of G.W. Bush. Let us now find a way to get out of Afghanistan so we can concentrate on the enormous problems our nation faces here at home and rebuild OUR nation, instead of trying to engage in nation-building around the globe.
