There are about 150,000 troops in Iraq.
It will be very difficult for Israeli troops to withdraw from Iraq, since none are there.
There are 83,970 troops in Iraq, and 78,430 in Afghanistan.
Obama stated, during his campaign, that troops would increase in Afghanistan and go down in Iraq. Neither has occurred.
The number of Iraqi troops that returned from Iraq in august 2007 was 1,298
No, he did not. President Obama had promised to withdraw troops and end the Iraq War; but he was also willing to leave a residual force in Iraq. Unfortunately, the new leader of Iraq at that time, Nouri Al Maliki, did not want American troops there, and no agreement was reached to keep them there. Therefore, no residual force was left in Iraq in 2011 when US troops came home.
Obama wants to take the troops out of Iraq in a responsible manner. He believes that the troops were irresponsibly placed in Iraq and he says that there have been enough casualties.
People put yellow ribbons in trees, used "Support our Troops" bumper stickers, sent food, clothing and letters to the troops in Iraq. People put yellow ribbons in trees, used "Support our Troops" bumper stickers, sent food, clothing and letters to the troops in Iraq.
