The US military is getting out of the way of the Iraqis who want to take out their own trash.

I hope that this sends a message to the jihadists all over the Arab world. I suspect that it will also make for a more pro-American and anti-Arab-dictatorship government in Iraq when one is eventually formed. They’ll remember who their friends, and enemies, were for at least a generation.

Boy, that Marine light colonel does have an unfortunate last name, though, doesn’t he?
