We can resume all our usual arguments about the wisdom or folly of Iraq tomorrow, but today let's just note the milestone:
The last combat troops are out and now 50,000, er, “advisors” remain. It's not the end of the war, in other words, but as a not-so-grim milestone for a lot of guys who are no longer in harm's way, it's a moment worth celebrating.
And, as always, thank the troops. Whatever arguments we have about the wisdom of what they're called on to do, they just keep their heads down and focus on the mission.
