It was a long time coming, but we're finally here. President Barack Obama announced Friday that virtually all remaining U.S. troops currently deployed in Iraq will be coming home at the end of this year -- finally ending the nearly ten-year occupation in Iraq.
"After nearly nine years, America's war in Iraq will be over," Obama said in a press conference Friday. "The coming months will be a season of homecomings. Our troops in Iraq will definitely be home for the holidays."
There are about 40,000 troops in Iraq right now and only 150 of them will have to stay behind to help in arm sales, a U.S. official said to CNN. Everyone else will be out of the country by December 31, just in time for New Years.
In the announcement, Obama stressed that he was keeping a promise he made during the 2008 campaign. The Iraq War has claimed over 4,400 U.S. soldiers' lives since March 2003, when the war started.
Do you know anyone currently in the Iraq War who will be coming home?

And they are not all coming home.
Your meds may need to be increased so you can keep the hallucinations alive.
Again I repeat as a Republic and I voted for Obama and as a republican I will vote again for Obama. And to answer your question there is no sense in anything , who gives the A cracp what happens in the Middle East. As long as Americans are not there.

He will never be a George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, JFK, Eisenhower or Reagan.
Obama is nothing more then George Soros' puppet.
They say that GW was Cheney's puppet.
As for Obama being the smartest and the greatest, once history gets done with him, he'll be lucky if he doesn't wind up in jail.Remember, he is young enough so that we are going to have years to dig out his past. Some one will eventually get all that information he's locked down and won't even release it under the FOI Act.
Now on to your voting history and your claim to be a Republican. There's no fool like an old fool I guess but if that what floats your boat, more power to you.
What you need to give a crap about, is if this president or the next winds up having to send the troops back again back again because of the Obama energy policies limiting exploration and development of our own resources. pretty soon they are going to find it more and more difficult to attract volunteers to serve in our military. They might even have to re-instate the draft. You never know. Then everyone will have the opportunity to be patriotic.
Hey, look at his record, look at his lies....no more lobbyist, no more special interest etc, etc, etc,......bo's lying list is endless
What a stinking joke on the American people, "you people" who voted for bo have no discernment
