President Obama's message this morning on Iraq

Early this morning, the last of our troops left Iraq.

As we honor and reflect on the sacrifices that millions of men and women made for this war, I wanted to make sure you heard the news.

Bringing this war to a responsible end was a cause that sparked many Americans to get involved in the political process for the first time. Today’s outcome is a reminder that we all have a stake in our country’s future, and a say in the direction we choose.

Thank you.

Barack

Our thoughts to Obama: First of all, good keeping your word on Iraq. That’s a big step. Now, here’s the real challenge: Can you get out of Afghanistan after this? Or will diplomatic roadblocks continue to prevent this?
