US Set to Pull Out of Iraq Cities, Plan to Grill
Reports coming in from a number of U.S. troops in Iraq state that they are excited about the opportunity to pull out of the major cities in the country and plan on celebrating by grilling.
“I don’t think we’ll just leave it at that,” said one soldier from the 10th Mountain Division, “I believe there’ll be football playing, TV watching and maybe even some Nintendo Wii.”
Signed at the end of the Bush administration, the deal to pull all U.S. combat forces from the country’s major cities is a stepping stone for the ultimate withdrawel of all U.S. troops from the country as a whole.
The Iraqi forces will be in charge of all major combat operations within the nation’s cities, including Baghdad as of June 30.
U.S. forces will be relegated to actions in outer provinces and support for the government’s operations.
