The announcement is three years too late and, in any event, the US shouldn't have been in Iraq in the first place. Same with the UK and the other countries that have sacrificed smaller numbers of their men and women in a foreign conflict in which we should have no strategic or selfish interest.

Same goes for Afghanistan.
