Finally, we’re coming home from Iraq
The President is keeping his promise, albeit a little late. We’re leaving Iraq because staying there is too costly and we don’t get a high return on cost.
Iraq is a sovereign nation that must manage on its own. If Turkey or Iran interfere, it will be up to NATO to address that with our support but not leading.
“U.S. troops to leave Iraq by end of year

I don't understand why everyone said "Obama kept his promise". The Us-Iraq security agreement was signed in Nov of 2008, before Obama took office. In that document, the US and Iraq agreed that every single troop would leave by Jan 1, 2011. So, all Obama did was abide by a treaty? This is another example of how Obama has done nothing, yet gets credit for doing something anyway.
