Obama announces end of Iraq war, troops to return home by year end
Quote:
President Obama announced Friday that the United States will withdraw
nearly all troops from Iraq by the end of the year,
effectively bringing the long and polarizing war in Iraq to an end.
"After nearly 9 years, America's war in Iraq will be over," said Mr. Obama.
He said the last American troops will depart the country by January 1
"with their heads held high, proud of their success, and knowing
that the American people stand united in our support for our troops."
