Wiki: President Obama's speech on 27 February 2009
On 27 February 2009, at
Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in
North Carolina,
President Barack Obama announced his revision to the original date of withdrawal of combat troops from Iraq. The revision was to extend the original date of 30 June 2009 for an additional 10 months, to 31 August 2010. After which all but a "transitional force" of 35,000 to 50,000 troops would be withdrawn from the Middle Eastern nation. President Obama reaffirmed commitment to the original complete withdraw date of 31 December 2011, set by the agreement between the Bush Administration and the Iraqi government.
[28] President Obama defined the task of the transitional force as "training, equipping, and advising
Iraqi Security Forces as long as they remain non-sectarian; conducting targeted counter-terrorism missions; and protecting our ongoing civilian and military efforts within Iraq"
And Obama modified it.
Isn't that the date Obama extended?
