Well. Obama is keeping his promise so far (although a little delayed). Some escalation in deaths leading up to this. Should be interesting the next couple months to see how the Iraqis deal with it.

"The Iraqis are rightly treating this day as a cause for celebration," Obama said Tuesday. "The very fact that Iraqis are celebrating this day is a testament to the courage, the capability and commitment of every single American who has served in Iraq. ... Through tour after tour of duty, our troops have overcome every obstacle to extend this precious opportunity to the Iraqi people."
