'It's Finished': Last of U.S. Soldiers Leaving Iraq

hmm, I don't think this is entirely accurate. You know, the part where it states the last of US troops leaving Iraq.
850 BILLION dollars and over 4,000 dead AMERICAN soldiers later!
But FINALLY!
and how many are still left and are still being sent to Afghanistan
