MILITARY: Obama announces Iraq troop withdrawal
In this shorter article, it announces what President Barrack Obama declared the end of the war in Iraq. For months people have argued where the United States would continue to have military forces in Iraq past this year, but Obama assures that there won't be. President Obama had a video conference with Iraqi Prime Minister, Nouri al-Malkiki, where they discussed and came with an agreement that the war would end soon. President George W. Bush had already sealed a deal saying that our armies would withdraw by 2011. President Obama declared the end of the combat mission and stood by what was already agreed.
In class we learned about the Executive Branch and how the President is the commander-in-chief of military. This is an example of how our President uses this power.
This connects to my life as a citizen because for most of my life this war has been going on. it is a wonderful thing to know that the dark time of war is over in Iraq. It really just is great news.
There never seemed to be a valid reason for our military to be in that war anyway. My opinion is that it is a great thing to end the war that has seemed to have gone on for a very long time.
Good response! You really connected your life well with the war, but I have to disagree with your opinion. I personally think that the US should offer help in any war that involved our allies, since we have the strongest militia of the world and without our help, our allies would either fall or stop being allied with us because we wouldn't help them. And we need most of the allies we have.
