An Army Mother on Leaving Iraq

In the end, the invasion of Iraq did not find any weapons of mass destruction, nor did it eradicate Al Qaida. The war did, however, topple dictator Saddam Hussein. It also cost hundreds of billions of dollars and went on for years. Now that the last U.S. troops will be quietly departing Iraq between today and the end of the year – President Obama will  address soldiers  at Fort Bragg Wednesday about the end of the Iraq war and the pullout of combat troops  – The Takeaway looks back at the campaign that began with “shock and awe” in 2003 and will end with a “home by christmas” pullout in 2011. Rossana Cambron  is the mother of an army sergeant now serving in Iraq. She has appeared on the program before, and says she is concerned about what services and support her son will receive once he gets home.
