(NSI News Source Info) CAMP VICTORY, Iraq - September 1, 2010: Vice President Joe Biden launched a new American military mission in Iraq on Wednesday, ushering in a fresh phase in a seven-year deployment that has cost the lives of more than 4,400 troops.Addressing soldiers near Baghdad a day after the US combat role here officially ended, Biden sought to rally the near 50,000 American soldiers who will remain in the country until a total withdrawal at the end of 2011.
The vice president acknowledged that the 2003 invasion had split US public opinion but he called for unity around the new training and advisory mission and said he believed the Iraq conflict's "darkest days are now behind us."
