UNDERNEWS: OBAMA LIES ABOUT REMOVING COMBAT TROOPS FROM IRAQ

NPR - NBC News, the Associated Press and CNN, among other news outlets, are reporting that the last U.S. combat troops were leaving Iraq Wednesday evening with the rolling into Kuwait of the Army’s 4th Stryker Brigade Combat Team, based at Fort Lewis, Wash.

But as we at NPR and others have reported previously, going forward there will still be U.S. combat troops in Iraq and they will sometimes find themselves shooting at the enemy and being shot at.

That would qualify as combat by most definitions.

So how is it possible to report that the last combat troops are leaving Iraq when there will still be combat troops there?
