I'm glad that they finally ended the war, though. It was a horrible mistake to jump into it in the first place, and since Vietnam, shouldn't we have already learned this anyway? Nothing good even came from this war, it was inevitably pointless.

Granted, Obama hasn't at any point tried to keep troops there but progress has not been speedy. However, he has kept to the agreement made between America and Iraq in late 2008: 'All the United States Forces shall withdraw from all Iraqi territory no later than December 31, 2011'.

And to answer my own question, no it has not been worth it. No WMDs were found and no 'victory' has been gained, because there was never an aim for victory in the first place.

No one wins, everyone loses, nothing good comes out of it = f*cking pointless.

Not even worth it considering the amount of deaths.
