Iraqis party as U.S. trooops pull out

Despite recent attacks and questions as to whether or not Iraqi forces are ready to rule their own country, the Iraqis are obvious in their blatant joy that they want U.S. soliders to get out of their country. Today marks the official pull out of approximately 130,000 U.S. troops. Not only are the Iraqis rejoicing, celebrating, and dancing in the streets; the Iraqi people have declared to day a national holiday. Even with rising tensions and conflicts, it is clear that the Iraqis are joyous to have U.S. troops withdraw.
