On Friday, Feb 27, 2009, President Obama declared the beginning of the end of one of the longest and most divisive wars in American history as he announced that he would withdraw combat forces from Iraq by August 2010 and all remaining troops by December 2011.

“So let me be clear: Al Qaeda and its allies — the terrorists who planned and supported the 9/11 attacks — are in Pakistan and Afghanistan”, he said. “We have a clear and focused goal to disrupt, dismantle and defeat Al Qaeda in Pakistan and Afghanistan, and to prevent their return to either country in the future.” Friday 3-27-09
