U.S. Forces Withdraw From Iraq, and PBS Asks What Comes Next

U.S. forces formally withdrew from Iraq, marking the end of a long and turbulent military presence, PBS NewsHour reported. The withdrawal brought celebrations in the capital — and, at the same time, concern about what comes next. Geoff Bennett spoke with James Jeffrey and Feisal Istrabadi about it. The pairing of reactions is the honest shape of the thing rather than a contradiction: the presence was long and turbulent, and its end leaves a live question mark. A formal exit settles the paperwork of a deployment; whether it settles anything on the ground is the part no ceremony answers.
