BRIAN WILLIAMS, anchor: And overseas tonight, the massive US military base outside Baghdad known as Camp Victory for years is now in Iraqi hands, given over to Iraq today. A big milestone as US fighting troops complete their pullout from Iraq . It was once an American-run city larger than Fort Bragg back in the states. About 60,000 people there. It included the identifiable brand names from home like Burger King and Cinnabon . The vast grounds included the airport, several palaces seized from Saddam Hussein . It was, along with the Green Zone in downtown Baghdad , the most visible symbol of the former US occupation.
