In a ceremony held in Baghdad on December 15, 2011, the war that began in 2003 with the American-led invasion of Iraq officially comes to an end. Though today was the official end date of the Iraq War, violence continued and in fact worsened over the subsequent years. The withdrawal of American troops had been a priority of President Barack Obama, but by the time he left office the United States would again be conducting military operations in Iraq.

Thank you my friend Lt Col Charlie Brown for the reminder of recent history that on December 15, 2011 the USA declared an end to the War in Iraq in a ceremony held in Baghdad.
Of course that did not end our combat involvement in Iraq.

Lt Col Charlie Brown I had a front row seat to watch the planning of this event back in 2009. They were not ready and still do not have the professional military force to protect their country.

The problem with not having a POTUS having done time and listening to his ground forces Commanders, his HUMINT & SIGINT traffic, and CIA & DIA briefs!
