The War in Iraq is Over... Or is It?

Over 8 years after the start of the U.S. War in Iraq, President Barak Obama is declaring the war over. Amidst much pomp and circumstance, the president is taking credit for bringing about an end to the conflict - all the while avoiding any mention of the true costs, casualties, and neglecting any commentary on whether or not our mission was in fact "accomplished." Exactly what does it mean to say that the war is over? Is Obama really responsible for ending the war, or are the politics surrounding the withdrawal far more complex? What have been the human costs of the war - not just for our troops, but for the Iraqis? Has a democracy been established? Will military contactors remain behind? Finally, in what condition is the US leaving the Iraq infrastructure, and what reparations might be needed? On this edition of "Justice, or Just Us?," we'll take a close look at the end of the war in Iraq with Ali Issa, national field organizer for the War Resisters League the War Resisters League, examining the past 8 years and looking forward.
