Ending the War in Iraq: A Promise Kept

[not8upwthit]

This is great ! Let's get out of afghanistan and rebuild America

OBAMA 2012

[grungeface87]

NDAA. Think that's all that needs to be said.

[soccergirl13]

Thank you Obama!!! Now let's get out of afghanistan...

[stchaltin]

I was laughing at Michele Bachmann videos before this. Obama, you are truly a breath of fresh air.

[MrAlfonsosoriano]

glad he at least kept one promise.......

[hotshot1ofBlogTV]

What about the troops in Libya ?

[EdgarImpact]

@hotshot1ofBlogTV What about them, Libya is a UN thing. French, UK, and US soldiers are there.

[TheSchnozwanger]

@hotshot1ofBlogTV What about the troops in Kuwait? 17,000 contractors in Iraq?

[gurru19871]

one good thing towards his 4 yrs presidency ends.... WOW...

[k3vinyAng]

Why is it ending already?? I havent even left for BCT yet. Im still in high school.

[Anubis2445]

the 122 dislikers are war hungry republican'ts

[ProudAthiest2]

Well done President Obama!

[DeesAfro]

Modern & Future Hero! Got my vote again....

[EZASOMO]

Prs. Obama, I am a US Navy veteran and a descent from the Democratic Republic of Congo, and I'm happy that the war in Iraq is over now. However, I won't for your reelection unless you stop supporting Kaname "Kabila" as president, for he did not win the presidential election, and he and his armed force are killing and rapping women every single day; people are very suffering. People have selected Tshisekedi as their president, so let him be their president. I know that you believe in democracy.

[pf91rodman]

Obama is imperfect

[NativeDeafMan]

I am so glad that all USA solders to withdraw from Iraq to sign no return again before Obama will come on Election Day.. Long time war Iraq for 36 years!!

[betulra]

Finally ! <3

[CIRMCPIM]

[padude64]

God Bless you Barack Obama!

[nafzarm1]

[cinaminjanberrymusic]

@nafzarm1 I'M A VOLUNTEER TOO SO KEEP IN TOUCH BECAUSE I HAVE A LOT OF WAYS TO HELP 

[TheVineEra]

[SayyivHD]

After what!! More than five million died for no reason :"(

[ayeo0itsbes]

Great Effort Mr. President !

[TheVineEra]

@ayeo0itsbes so true! the president and all who fought day in and day out! thank you!

[zioband]

In East Africa,10 million peopl were affected by the worst drought in 60 y. 2 successive poor rainy seasons have resulted in a very dramatic situation, w/consequences that could further worsen in the medium term.

In some areas of the region the price of wheat has risen between 100 and 200%, reducing the availability of food x families & livestock, which represents a major source of livelihood in the area.

In Somalia the drought is in addition to a political & military crisis from 20 years

[belkly]

thank you



[LADYGAGAISGODx]

YES WE CAN

[BallStateStories]

How about the promise to veto the NDAA if it had indefinite detention in it?

[HellohKIDDIE]

@BallStateStories Read the law. There's NO indefinite detention. Get educated and think for yourself.

[starfish457]

@BallStateStories how about you run for president and do better?

[Bronzecop]

@BallStateStories Like Obama will ever use it lol

[TheWorldclassplayer]

@BallStateStories

dude the troops are back,our patriots lives are saved and this is something to be happy about

[trifector1]

what country will now fill the vaccum left by the country who sacrificed the blood of soldiers?

[spinemelter2000]

Thank God for this president. This is a true accomplishment in foreign policy.

[rickythepitbull]

Well at least bammy did one good thing..lets make this a start of good to come...time to start working on the united states

[strappingYungLad]

@rickythepitbull thats for sure.now the U.S. needs work

[JosephStalin11]

Long Live America! 🇺🇸

[WhatAxBrit]

ddd

[sagat4]

Thanks for sending the troops home. More good things from you in the near future

[abarzilai664]

Of course not said in the advert was that talks between the US and Iraq broke down which made the withdrawal possible. If this comment gets approved I would like a quick response.

[TheUnlimitedOne]

YAY!



[meandi760]

Finally he did something during his presidency

[Runswithscissors111]

Ok so Obama promised to end the war, I guess he kept his promise. You also promised to shut down guantanamo bay, and now you are signing the NDAA and putting indefinite detention as law?

[EggoMuffin]

what a boss. obama 2012!!!!

[ManNorthern]

Plus he got Osama Bin Laden.

[Roq999]

What about his promise to veto SOPA?

[mrcoradoor]

Speechless

[KurzLuppii]

Obama didn't plan on leaving now. Iraq's Parliament doesn't want us there any more.

Distorting the Facts is in fact lying to the American People.

[youknowittrillo3]

Its about time to bring them home. Hoorah.

[HereinLasVegas]

LOL, he followed Bush's Bush's plan and now he's taking credit for it? Bush's fault once again!!

[ADEC00L]

its just over?, just like that? ....how?

[spiralmetal]

I'm disappointed that comments are being screened on this thread. Obama has nothing to be afraid of. If there are people leaving negative comments, let them. All opinions I believe should be expressed freely in a public forum. I think it reflects poorly if you do this. It's more impressionable to let both people who support and are against Obama express themselves on his own vids.

[spiralmetal]

I'm voting for Obama again in 2012

[mrphoenixfires]

Yes We Can!!!

[babscout468]

Thank you Mr. President! 🇺🇸👏

At last, this pointless suffering and destruction of lives is over.

اوباما ده واحد كداب كداااااااااااااااب

مصر أم الدنيا

[abeismain]

Can you have a war without a declaration?

[marsvolta1386]

Good now don't start shit with Iran.

[spamholder1234]

Thank you

[qpwillie]

It was president Bush who scheduled the withdrawl of troops. Actually, 0bama extended it for an additional six months.

[2002lees]

You just followed Bush's SoFA with the Iraqi's to the letter then attempted to keep troops longer, .....That is NOT what you promised

[evanology06]

AWESOME! :)

[MRigotissues]

That's my dog!

[ScottCarhoun]

Wow. It only took a decade :(

[pimpin1739]

Took you long enough, bro.

[JoeBunting1]

Obama l♥ves America. Re-Elect him in 2012. He is the best choice.

Now the war in Afghanistan needs to be ended, the sooner the better.

[ThePurpleKush]

boss

[SilvermakingmeRICH]

Hey Mr prez, my check you wrote to the troop withdraw as the first thing you do in office and I can take that to the bank has bounced. I'd like that payment in physical gold and silver. Thanks.

Ps: why are our troops moving to Syria? That's not back home!

Sincerely,

A concerned American.

[DanteB18]

what is this song!

[70s80s]

War Is Over! :D

[bossebo3535]

Finally!

[2muchgametime]

Yeah I'm still not voting for you, you said you'd start withdrawing troops on day one, among other things. The best thing you could do is stop the ability for corporations to decide who gets elected. I'm sick of the lies, I'm sick of politics being an extension of big business.

[neotailz]

Whether you're Republican, Democrat, left, right, or anything else, those two words should be uttered by every single American that plans to continue to live, love, or respect this country. Our troops have fought long and hard, and made many sacrifices for us and our fellow human beings abroad. I just hope that in the future we can avoid troop deployments, be it domestic or abroad, that put our fellow citizens in the amount of danger they have faced the past decade.

[MilitantRager]

SWAG

[Mrdntply08]

I love you Mr. Prez...you are truly a man of your word and one of the closest watched presidents in history. We will rejoice sharing this story with our future generation of how we had the pleasure of witnessing such a man GOD bless YOU and GOD bless America

[lagunadeb]

I love this man..he said what he'd do if prez then when he became prez he did it. He is what a POTUS should be, calm, protective and will save thousands of troopslives by bringing them home. thank you president Obama. Your are the man. peace.

[isimplylovefootball]

Yes he EVENTUALLY "ended the war." I do commend him on getting our troops out of Iraq. Wish he could have done it sooner than now though. To bad most of these troops will end up in Afghanistan and go at it again.

[MrMbutube]

hundred thousands of our troops is dead, million of Iraqis has been killed. trillion of dollars has been wasted. Thousand of people is unemployed. All that because of an ASSHOLE called george bush. Well thank you Obama ??!!

[DoYerBest]

Interesting timing, and circumstances in which the troops have come home. 

[sickmint79]

he is only leaving iraq because iraq wouldn't let troops stay any longer, which he was asking for (and trying hard). he is also leaving on the date that bush set forth. he is also ramping up troops around iraq. there is also going to be a significant amount of CIA presence and thousands of security contractors.

[TheScam5]

Good man!

[hacman]

Mission Re-Accomplished.

[jl93408]

sup

[Zambillou]

Well said Obama, well said. We love you, Barack!!

[myrothas87]

i like this puppet! Hes doing a great job for the gouverment!

[Zambillou]

first



[misterlolington]

Bush made the agreement to leave Iraq by the end of this year. And due the abuses brought to light by wikileaks the iraq government decided they would not let american soldiers be immune to the law. the only thing obama done was preside over what was already in place. it's like promising that christmas will get here this year.

[bowie2too]

Well done, Barack! Now keep your head up high and stand for your principles: democrats for president!!!

[Zskillit]

36 people disliked that the war in Iraq is over? Wow. I'm ashamed.

[HEDGurrection]

This war's been going on for almost as long as I can remember. It's about time the troops came back! ;D

[CharlieButtle97]

Welcome home!

[harshlens]

Finally and thank you OBAMA and his peeps !! fucking asshole Bush !! The father and the son single handed destroyed USA...

[Pozzuu]

RESPECT!

[ICrosbyI15]

America!

[MegaKingofkings24]

thank you president obama for bringing this war to a end.

[iPredaator]

OBAMA 2012!

[Sw3dishSanta]

That's awesome! :)

[TheBestestLoser]

GO OBAMA! :D

[DraciVik]

I wish this happened sooner, but better late than never! Good job Barrack!

[MrDeclan101]

I'm from holland and i understand why american people are proud on their country! The netherlands should see this as a example of a true leader!

[Xp1n0yX]

first

[cityshots]

yes sir! spot on, fall in line

[charityhead]

Obama shared this video on Facebook. Don't hold your head too high you were also involved in the longest and largest genocide in decades.

[HiGGiNZx]

oloololol

[DrHeinzy]

Hey, that's pretty cool. Obama seems like a cool guy.

[TraxTheAlien]

An honest and open government: A promise denied

The evidence is overwhelming, We sinned your petition, all we received for our efforts was a slap in the face and "go talk to someone else". FAIL

[Hansped33]

End war in Afghanistan plz.

[disesed]

if i lived in america i would vote obama. :)

[tomaluta]

Thank you for ending the war. Do thesame for Afghanistan please and do not start war with Iran or Syria. Stop pleasing Israel

[12quillemall5321]

CAN WE STOP PRETENDING THAT THE IRAQ WAR WAS NEEDED? Let's stop terrorizing our fellow citizens with the NATIONAL DEFENSE ACT, that will detain citizens indefinately without a trial. President Obama, veto this unfair act, and CLOSE GITMO.

[Grefins999]

first

[THERAREBREED85]

LIKE if you agree that OUR PRESIDENT is a man of his word.

[TechW0RLD101]

I love the obama administration

[djnoreg]

Obama is a good president! 

[DerekWilliamsMusic]

Barack Obama never supported GW Bush's outrageous trillion dollar catch-up war, promised to end it if elected, and now he has ended it.

There never were Weapons Of Mass Destruction, so the motivational premise for this entire war was illegal, therefore 113,125 Iraqi civilians and 4,500 Americans were killed and 33,000 US troops were injured for no reason.

What choice did the President have but to thank the loyal troops for their service? Good that they're back for Christmas.

[Proxiiter]

Cool :)

[BigPostal]

Thank you Mr President

[dewfish]

awesome.

[kollrame]

Awesome! :D

[GFDelil]

Free Kurdistan and destroy fascist and racsist turkey the medias liying ! erdogan says kurds and turks are brothers! and he feeds kids in somalia and kill kurdish kids -.- stop this idiots

in turkey no politic and no democracy you go to jail if u speak kurdish and they torture you in jail... FREE KURDISTAN first step iraq thx for that bush and obama 2nd step turkey 3rd step(the hardest) in iran....

[sizzo666]

Love you barrack

[TheLegendHimSelf05]

Finally we have a president who fights for american people!!!

[Joyce51]

President Obama, my hat is off to you, thank you so much for ending this horrible, needless war!! My vote will be cast again for you in 2012 :)

[chatcentral]

took you long enough!

[562285562]

This a Nobel prize owner really must do.. support him

[Sheqardi]

I respect this guy,

I hope from Mr. Obama to do something good before leaving that would be helpping Syrian people, they are dying everyday by Syrian Army!

[supermanthathoe100]

I love you Obama with you as president I feel peace and joy in my heart.

[innitlimit]

people are stupid if they dont vote on Barrack again!

[physicals]

I'm confused now is the war in Iraq actually a war? i thought i heard differently from the GOP debate. I forgot what they refereed it as...

[kabobman99]

a promise kept yea ur right but you were forced out of there you tried to grant our troops immunity but you couldnt and you tried to negotiate for us to stay until 2014 but thankfully failed so i would give you very little credit because it seems you were forced out. in regards to the national defense authorization act you threatened to veto it and i loved that but now you wont not surprising but if u dont veto it i will not support u in 2012 as i plan to that act violates 5th amendment and 14th

[jekellhyde]

Thank you for ending the war, again! Can i marry now a woman and build up a fam, thx!?!

[SilvanaVasc]

Congratulations President Obama to fulfill his promises to govern with prudence, and victory

[YourNextThougtLetGo]

Welcome home, brothers and sisters, welcome home.

[chrisw443]

Keep my faith in you, veto the ndaa. Its all i ask for my vote again thank you for ending this war

[NicktheNet]

I probably would feel a lot better about this if my little cousin Joel who served 2 terms of service - hadn't shot himself in the brains a couple of months ago. He was 27 years old.

[KongYack]

President Obama is one of the most trustworthy Presidents I have ever seen. If he says he is going to do something he does it. I can't think of one single thing that he said he wasn't going to try to do when he was running for office that he didn't at least attempt to do. Don't worry Mr President you've got my vote in 2012. Country first Party second. Which America do you want to see?

[kazooga1234]

now stop the other pointless war and make sure we dont have any more pointless wars

[themanshats]

2012!!!!

[frozenhiphop09]

FINALLY!!!!!!!!



[MightyAfricans]

Good work .. Viva Obama

[annie46664]

AWESOME! About time too. So many wasted, maimed & orphaned innocent lives all based on a LIE. We all vowed never to permit another holocaust ~ yet how soon did so many of us forget our vow? We permitted it with the senseless wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and continue to permit it with the HIV LIE and criminal fraud too.

May 2012 be the start of a PEACEFUL, safe, joyous & prosperous future for every creation throughout OUR precious planet.

Love & LIGHT to one and ALL,

~Durban~ South Africa ~

[brandonlamarmusic]

18 PEOPLE ARE TERRORISTS.... BARACK OBAMA WILL BE PRESIDENT AGAIN 2012!

[Coolboy78910]

First?

[Volocity2006]

OBAMA 2012!

[KPAdhikari]

Promise made, Promise Kept!

Job well done!

Welcome home!

[Makosis]

And instead starting the war on U.S. citizens by pushing to have the military be able to detain citizens indefinitely without a trial.

Great job Obama. We wanted change and we got it, we voted for a progressive and you changed into a Republican.

[LACROSSEFAN654]

Thank you Obama, this means a lot to me. I always thought the war in Iraq was useless. All those lives were lost for no reason. Thank you Obama, and thank you soldiers. welcome home.

[sofiamedia]

Thank you for officially ending this war. Now heal those involved.

[ipodkiller6]

Too bad you had to disappoint all of us that voted for and supported you in the beginning.

[milograamans]

Mr. President:

Thank you.

[HaguSlayer]

aka last promise that will be kept

[larlar752000]

You're the man!

[cerebral36]

A man of his word. Not only on ending this war, but killing Bin Laden. Republicans will be dumb to attack Obama on foreign policy. Now all he needs is some help in Congress to get his jobs bill passed. If they just give him a chance, he'll get this economy turned around like he promised as well. And republicans know it and that's why they are doing everything they can to stop him. OBAMA 2012!!

[brittsyoutoob]

Thank God for our President for bringing home our soldiers! <3

[sexyellex]

I am glad our troops are coming home from Iraq! When will our troops be out of Afghanstan? It's time to end their time there, too!

[MissLemon92]

finally.

[ssp0929]

Good now keep your promise of vetoing the NDAA.

[PJEssence]

Lets go Obama!

[ParkMeLinkin]

i would love that

[3chicspolitico]

I love love my President! Thank you so much!

[spydat3k0]

doesn't look like appeasement to me.

[crazy4sian]

A man who keeps his word.

[DerrickDmx]

Thanks Obama. 2012.

[BobThePatriot]

its funny because bush made this deadline, and obama is taking credit. We also never declared war in Iraq so no war can be ended if it never started.

[Aetrion]

What about that Guantanamo Bay thing? Oh yea, not only is it still open, with the national defense authorization act you also now allow the military to lock Americans up without a trial. So yea, I guess that's slightly less racist and evil than just doing it to non-Americans, way to go.

How is anyone who is genuinely liberal/progressive supposed to take Obama seriously when he supports stuff like that, then pats himself on the back for sticking with the original Bush plan on Iraq?

[socialambiguity]

NDAA vetoed and ACTUAL national healthcare for all next, right? Right? My son could certainly use something that has more credibility than "put an icepack on everything" free clinics.

[TheMetalPerson]

It's about damn time...

[nickspacee]

This made me smile :)
