By 2012 the 9-year war in Iraq will be over.
President Obama will withdraw all U.S. forces from Iraq by the end of the year, ending a long war that deeply divided the country over its origins and the American lives it consumed, the news said.
“The rest of our troops in Iraq will come home,” Obama said Friday at the White House, adding that they will “be home for the holidays.”
“After nearly nine years, America’s war in Iraq will be over,” he said.
In this stance, Obama said that the United States is moving forward from a position of strength.
“Because after a decade of war, the nation that we need to build — and the nation that we will build — is our own, an America that sees its economic strength restored just as we’ve restored our leadership around the globe,” he said.
The plan conforms with the agreement negotiated by the Bush administration to withdraw U.S. forces from Iraq at the end of 2011 — something that many of Obama’s Republican rivals failed to note in statements criticizing the complete withdrawal.
In the Philippines, the MILF rebel group killed 19 army soldiers in fierce fighting in southern Basilan island in Mindanao, the national news said.
In spite of that killing, President Aquino III didn't want to retaliate against the rebel group. He denied suggestion from government official an offensive against the rebel group. He said there's no benefits in war.
Those leaders are guided that they want peace to take her course.
Besides Christmas is around the corner. "Peace on earth goodwill to men."
