Obama wants US troops home by March 2008

Democrat Senator Barack said on Saturday during the speech to officially launch his presidential campaign that it was time to withdraw US troops from Iraq.

" It's time to admit that no amount of American lives can resolve the political disagreement that lies at the heart of someone else's civil war. That's why I have a plan that will bring our combat troops home by March of 2008. Letting the Iraqis know that we will not be there forever is our last, best hope to pressure the Sunni and Shia to come to the table and find peace." (AP)
