Ap declares combat in Iraq not over

Last week Tom Kent of the associated press issued this edict to his staff:

"To begin with, combat in Iraq is not over, and we should not uncritically repeat suggestions that it is, even if they come from senior officials."

As has been mentioned here before we have ended many a war without actually ever removing our military presence. So according to Mr. Kent we are still fighting WWI, WWII, the Korean War, and the Gulf War since we currently have the following troops deployed there:

Germany – 57,080
South Korea – 27,014
Kuwait - 10,548

I guess according to the AP Germany is still a major threat since we currently have more troops their than in Iraq.
