US combat brigades still in Iraq: report | Raw Story

The US military and the Obama administration loudly trumpeted the withdrawal of the "last combat brigade" from Iraq last week, but news reports suggest the move is purely semantic: The combat brigades are still there, but under a different name.

The Army Times reported on Saturday that the US still has seven combat brigades inside Iraq, but they have been renamed "advise and assist brigades."

As a Monday Morning bonus we might nominate this quote to The "Blog" of "Unnecessary" Quotation Marks.
