President Barack Obama to Announce Plans for Iraqi Withdrawal

President Barack Obama is expected to reveal plans that will withdraw most U.S. troops from Iraq by August 2010.

Obama is expected to make the announcement when he arrives at Camp Lejeune, N.C. on Friday afternoon. The plan is believed to involve the removal of nearly 100,000 troops from Iraq while up to 50,000 troops would remain after August 2010 to assist Iraqi forces and protect U.S. interests.

According to a senior administration official the remaining troops would be responsible for a more limited mission that could include carrying out counter-terrorism operations.

During his presidential campaign Obama had promised to completely pull out troops within 16 months of his presidency. The pull out plan is expected to go into full force following Iraq’s elections scheduled for December.

While U.S. troops are expected to be leaving Iraq they could find themselves in Afghanistan as Obama has already sent an additional 17,000 soldiers to the country earlier this month.
