U.S. Troop Withdrawal Rests on Decision From Iraq (U.S. News & World Report)

U.S. News & World Report - Since President Obama declared the end of combat in Iraq last August, Washington has paid less attention to the war that cost the country more than 4,400 lives and hundreds of billions of dollars. But with the nation's foreign policy focused on withdrawal from Afghanistan and the ongoing fallout of the Arab Spring uprisings in the region, approximately 46,000 troops remain in Iraq. Whether all of those troops will leave by year's end is still uncertain.
