BY BARACK OBAMA, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
How should we record this episode in American history for posterity? That America’s mission in Iraq was merely a hit and run away or that it was a mission accomplished? BO thinks the war has been brought to a “responsible end.” Time will tell. Or what do you think? Reactions are welcome.
I'm writing to tell you that all US troops will return home from Iraq by the end of December. After nearly nine years, the American war in Iraq will end. Our servicemen and women will be with their families for the holidays.
The war in Iraq came with tremendous cost. More than a million Americans served in Iraq, and nearly 4,500 gave their lives in service to the rest of us. Today, as always, we honor these patriots.
When I came into office, I pledged to bring the war in Iraq to a responsible end. As Commander in Chief, I ended our combat mission last year and pledged to keep our commitment to remove all our troops by the end of 2011. To date, we’ve removed more than 100,000 troops from Iraq.
