It appears that the war that no one wanted is finally coming to an end. President Obama made the announcement today that all US troops in Iraq are coming home soon. It’s been 10 years, and history will remember this war as one that should never have happened.
CNN–U.S. President Barack Obama, announcing Friday that “the rest of our troops will come home by the end of the year,” said: “After nearly nine years, America’s war in Iraq will be over.”
The new partnership with Iraq will be “strong and enduring” after U.S. troops leave the country, Obama said in the White House briefing room. The United States will continue its interest in a strong, stable Iraq after U.S. troops leave, the president said.
“Today I can say that our troops in Iraq will definitely be home for the holidays,” Obama said.
