It's harder to end a war than begin one. Indeed, everything that American troops have done in Iraq -- all the fighting and all the dying, the bleeding and the building, and the training and the partnering -- all of it has led to this moment of success. Now, Iraq is not a perfect place. It has many challenges ahead. But we're leaving behind a sovereign, stable and self-reliant Iraq, with a representative government that was elected by its people. We're building a new partnership between our nations. β¨ Remarks by the President and First Lady on the End of the War in Iraq at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, obamawhitehouse.archives.gov. December 14, 2011.
