    IRAQ-KUWAIT BORDER — The last U.S. combat troops crossed the border into Kuwait on Thursday morning, bringing to a close the active combat phase of a 7½-year war that overthrew the dictatorial regime of Saddam Hussein, forever defined the presidency of George W. Bush and left more than 4,400 American service members and tens of thousands of Iraqis dead.

    The final convoy of the Army’s 4th Stryker Brigade Combat Team, based at Fort Lewis, Wash., began entering Kuwait about 1:30 a.m. (6:30 p.m. Wednesday ET), carrying the last of the 14,000 U.S. combat forces in Iraq, said NBC’s Richard Engel, who has been traveling with the brigade as it moved out this week.

    NBC News video showed the last Stryker vehicles rolling up to the gate. A guard pulled it back, and the vehicles drove through. The gate closed behind them.

    P.J. Crowley, a spokesman for the State Department, told msnbc TV that while the departure is “an historic moment,” he said, it is not the end of the U.S. mission in Iraq.

    “We are ending the war ... but we are not ending our work in Iraq,” he said. “We have a long-term commitment to Iraq.”


    To quote The Rock:

    FINALLYYYYY....THE TROOPS, HAVE COME BACK, TO AMERICAAAA![i]

    		 Hopefully we'll be able to start using some of these returning troops to help secure our border.

    		 It's cool to move this to a practically dead forum in favor of more LOLcat and I Hate Michael Bay threads.

    Crackerjack job there, folks.

    Maybe that would be the key to pumping new life into this site...just let all the topics involving touchy subjects like politics and religion stay on the main board where everyone can see them. Once they get moved to these forums here, it might as well be that they were never even made in the first place.

    		 While this is my forum I have to agree. Only a few people every even check these forums and topics like these would get several pages of replies on the main chat forum. I guess past arguments make the mods more apprehensive. Most of the old legion clan is gone and I personally don't think that would happen today.

    Wait, what does the Legion have to do with moving a post? Or arguments for that matter? I'm smelling prejudice.

    Sorry man wasn't just the Legion folks, but that old crowd tended to make some touchy topics very heated back in the days.

    Waitng on black_kitten and miss piggy to come in and attack me 8)

    Edit:This might bring back some memories.

    		 About time we got of of Iraq. I wonder how soon the former thugs running it will take back over? One of the most pointless wars in our history. A war of choice by Bush. Thousands of people killed so the military industrial war complex could get rich.
