War in Iraq
By August 31st America´s mission in Iraq will end, said president Obama. According to the promises made during his campaign, by the end of this month there will only be 50,000 troops in Iraq, which will be in charge of supporting and training Iraqi security forces. These troops will leave Iraq at the end of 2011. Meanwhile, Iraq is in political deadlock, five months after the parliamentary elections.
