Some six years later, Americans finally get the response the vile Rumsfeld and most of the rest of the GOP said we would get in Iraq

...by leaving.

Per Think Progress:

Iraqis jubilantly celebrate U.S. troop withdrawal.

U.S. forces handed over formal control of Iraq’s major cities today (it is already Tuesday in Iraq), “a defining step toward ending the U.S. combat role in the country.” In celebration, Iraqis launched fireworks and “thousands attended a party in a park [in Baghdad] where singers performed patriotic songs. … Loudspeakers at police stations and military checkpoints played recordings of similar tunes throughout the day, as Iraqi military vehicles decorated with flowers and national flags patrolled the capital.” Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, who had called the withdrawal a “great victory,” declared June 30 a public holiday.


If you look at the photos included, you can almost hear the Iraqis singing,

"Na na na na...na na na na...hey hey hey...goodbye."
