Obama declares Iraq war over with all US troops home at year's end (http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/189075-obama-to-declare-iraq-war-over-with-troops-home-at-years-end)

President Obama announced Friday that the U.S. will complete its drawdown of troops by the end of the year, concluding the war in Iraq after almost nine years.

Obama, who sprang to national prominence with his condemnation of the war begun by his predecessor, declared in the White House briefing room that "after nearly nine years, America's war in Iraq will be over."

The president spoke with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki earlier Friday, and Obama said the two leaders are in "full agreement about how to move forward."

So Iran wouldn't give a Sofa which means America has to pull out.

So now that we've declared the war over, the terrorists are going to pack up and go home right? And everyone will get along?

[TFatseas]

This was planned what, three years ago already?

Must be getting near election time in the US.

[magicstix]

Must be getting near election time in the US.

There's an air of desperateness in this.... I think our President realizes he's going to lose the election.

[Tribesman]

Must be getting near election time in the US.
Must be getting close to the end of the existing agreement.

There's an air of desperateness in this....
Desperation would have been accepting the Iranians terms.

Regardless of who gets the credit or what the motivations are, I'm very pleased by this. Now we just need to do the same with Afghanistan.
