Obama said the US would keep in Iraq only the forces necessary for the security, combating the terrorism and assistance to the Iraqi people in the field of education and other services, APA reports.
The US President said that all important decisions about the future of Iraq must be made by Iraqis, but not by the United States. “We seek a full transition to Iraqi responsibility for the security of your country," he said.

"We face the challenge of refocusing on Afghanistan and Pakistan”, Obama declared.

There are 142 thousand American troops in Iraq currently and the country has lost 4 250 soldiers since the beginning of military campaign in Iraq in 2003.
