FILE - In this Dec. 24, 2011 file photo, Sgt. Howard Acoff hugs his family as U.S. Army 1st Cavalry 3rd Brigade soldiers return home from deployment in Iraq at Fort Hood, Texas. These 3rd Brigade troops were in the last convoy to leave Iraq, as U.S. soldiers withdrew from the country. For now, there are no plans to hold a huge ticker-tape parade for troops returning from Iraq, no arrangements for a grand, flag-waving, red-white-and-blue homecoming of the sort America’s fighting men and women received after World War II and the Gulf War. Instead, most welcomes have been smaller-scale: hugs from families at military posts across the country, a somber commemoration by President Barack Obama at Fort Bragg.

In the week since the last American troops left Iraq, Shiite Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki ordered an arrest warrant for the country's highest-ranking Sunni official, threatened to exclude the rival sect from his government and warned that 'rivers of blood' would flow if Sunnis seek an autonomous region. The moves confirmed what many long-time observers of Iraqi politics have suspected since al-Maliki came to office more than five years ago — that he has an authoritarian streak and beneath his tireless rhetoric about national unity is essentially a sectarian politician.(AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster, File)AP - In the week since the last American troops left Iraq, Shiite Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki ordered an arrest warrant for the country's highest-ranking Sunni official, threatened to exclude the rival sect's main political party from his government and warned that "rivers of blood" would flow if Sunnis seek an autonomous region.
