ASSOCIATED PRESS: Text of President Barack Obama's speech on the Iraq war on Friday at Camp Lejeune, N.C., as transcribed by CQ Transcriptions.
He said to the troops, "Now, next month will mark the sixth anniversary of the war in Iraq. By any measure, this has already been a long war. For the men and women of America's Armed Forces — and for your families — the war has been one of the most extraordinary chapters of service in the history of our nation.
Many of you have endured tour after tour after tour of duty. You've known the dangers of combat and the lonely distance from loved ones. You have fought against tyranny and disorder. You have bled for your best friends and for unknown Iraqis.
And you have borne an enormous burden for your fellow citizens, while extending a precious opportunity to the people of Iraq. Under tough circumstances, the men and women of the United States military have served with honor and succeeded beyond any expectation.
Today, I've come to speak to you about how the war in Iraq will end"
******* *** *******
Well, president Obama has decided that he is going to bring the troops home and end the the war in Iraq.
PRESIDENT BUSH YOU HAVE ENDURED THE LIES ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER AND YOUR LEADERSHIP.

ALTHOUGH PRESIDEMT OBAMA DIDN'T SAY IT ... PRESIDENT BUSH WE SALUTE YOU FOR A MISSION ACCOMPLISHED IN IRAQ!
