Obama: "Iraq's Future Is In The Hands Of Its Own People"
AP: President Barack Obama declared Tuesday that "Iraq's future is in the hands of its own people," warning of more violence in the days ahead but signaling optimism that Iraq will prevail as a stable, sovereign nation. "The Iraqi people are rightly treating this as a cause for celebration," Obama said, marking Tuesday's withdrawal of U.S. combat troops from all Iraqi cities. "The future belongs to those who build, not to those who destroy."
