The last American combat brigade is leaving Iraq, marking the start of a new phase in America's engagement in the country.
About 50,000 noncombat troops are expected to remain to advise and assist Iraqi forces. The combat forces' exit comes ahead of the Aug. 31 deadline set by President Obama.
Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said combat operations still officially will end Aug. 31, and on that date, the mission will change names from Operation Iraqi Freedom, to Operation New Dawn.

Great news. Hopefully Iraq can stay a stable country for the foreseeable future.
