(Poll) Is now the right time to leave Iraq?
President Barack Obama announced Friday that the United States will withdraw all of its forces by the end of the year.
On March 20, 2003, the United States military crossed the border between Iraq and Kuwait—marking the start of the Iraq War. More than eight years have passed and nearly 4,500 American troops died since that invasion. Minnesota lost 68 of its neighbors in the war.
But that war is set to conclude soon. President Barack Obama announced Friday that the United States will withdraw all of its forces, except for a remnant left behind to guard the U.S. embassy, by the end of the year.
So tell us what you think: Is now the right time to leave Iraq?
