NASIRIYAH, IRAQ - DECEMBER 03: A 4 month planner is seen tacked to a wall in a deserted building at the desolate Camp Adder as the Army continues to send its soldiers and equipment home and the base is prepared to be handed back to the Iraqi government later this month on December 3, 2011 at Camp Adder, near Nasiriyah, Iraq. The United States military continues its pullout of the country by the end of this year, after eight years of war and the overthrow of Saddam Hussein. (Photo by Joe Raedle/Getty Images)
