Well, my friends, it is official. The US government has turned over military control of the green zone (the area where the government headquarters and embassies reside) to Iraq’s government. This act is a major step in our troops coming home from Iraq. With this move in place, we will now begin to see a decrease in troops guarding and patrolling areas in Iraq and an increase in our soldiers coming home.For the sake of historical record, I would like to point out that this major act in diplomacy happened under our current president George W. Bush.
