A big milestone was hit in Iraq yesterday, yet I doubt the media will talk about it too much: Iraqi commandos showed off skills they learned from U.S. military forces, who Saturday formally handed over control of combat operations to Iraqi security forces. The top U.S. commander in Iraq, Gen. Raymond Odierno, was on hand […]
