BREAKING — President Obama Will Announce Today Complete Drawdown of US Troops in Iraq to Zero By End of Year

Jake Tapper at ABC News just confirmed. Great, great news.
Absolutely amazing. I hope things go as planned.
Cool. To zero? I thought we would have always stayed there. (I’m assuming this draw-down won’t include PMCs, however).
Not totally to zero. There will be I think 150 marines guarding the embassy. As for the PMCs, if domestic Iraqi law allows them to continue operating then I imagine they’ll stay.
