U.S. troops withdrawal? by Milota Sidorova

As the time goes by towards autumn, pre-election mood appears in the U.S. politics.As both Congress parties face reelections, many politicians try at least officially stick up to their old promises. So does President Barack Obama who may be running out of time if spoken about Iraq mission. Complete U.S. army withdrawal from the country hit by invasive war for 7 years was planned before Jan 1st 2012. At least that was claimed in the U.S.-Iraq military pact from 2009.But some delays are certain. During Obama's presidency the number of soldiers in Iraq decreased from 140,000 to current 56,000. Another 6,000 is supposed to leave before Aug 31st . But there is almost one third f! rom the initial number to go. And some extensions have already been avised – according latest news, special and reduced U.S. troops should remain to train Iraq armies. Although Obama and White House representatives remains solid in the decision, his defence secretary, Robert Gates has suggested the presence of U.S. troops would very much depend on new Iraq government, since its formations were troubeld several times. And he underlined they would keep “open door” in case Iraq government ask for military support. For now on, words and promises hang in the air, but the reality has been already adjusted. According observers this point may jeopardize Obama's position, since he possesses almost major political support in Washinghton.Since beginning of US led invasion in 2003, operations took around 4,400 American and thousands more domestic deads.
