He stressed that the United States and Iraq is to establish "a new partnership."
Obama acknowledged that the war from the beginning caused enormous controversy in the United States. But he believes that "the end of the war more difficult than the war began," that the United States military was doing in Iraq contributed to the success of this moment.
In fact, the eventual withdrawal of U.S. troops in Iraq has sparked controversy, even though polls show the majority of Americans support the troops, but the Republican Mengpi Obama, saying that after spending so much cost and withstand large casualties, the "too quickly from Iraq withdrawal of U.S. national security threat.

Left vulnerable to a loss of Iraqis in Iraq
Finally, 4000 U.S. soldiers will leave Iraq before the end of the year. They will be left is a difficult except rebellion, sectarian tensions, political instability in Iraq is still weak.
Obama's predecessor, former U.S. President George W. Bush in the 2003 invasion of Iraq issued an order, he said former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein - Hussein in the hands of weapons of mass destruction is threatening the whole world.
Hussein was eventually ousted, captured, hanged, but now, Bush's weapons of mass destruction mouth has not yet been found.
Now Iraq, an unstable political system in operation, the violence was subsided trend, but challenges still too much of the insurgency, the economy heavily dependent on oil exports, fragile power-sharing government, rampant corruption ... ... .
Some people fear that there will be more sectarian conflict, perhaps the "base" organization will return to terrorize the Iraqi cities. Kurdistan in northern Iraq's semi-autonomous region is also working with the Iraqi government bickering over territorial issues, the distribution of oil interests is one of the differences between the parties.
And now all too frequent occurrence of attacks against government agencies that the security situation in Iraq is far from reassuring, the Government has not fully control the situation.
Neighbors will be watching closely to provide a buffer in the absence of the U.S. case, Baghdad, how to solve their own problems. By this time, the western border with the neighboring countries bordering Syria is experiencing a serious internal crisis, which may be the entire Middle East balance of sectarian and ethnic threat.
In the "base" organization of the former lair of Fallujah, thousands of Iraqis celebrating the 14th U.S. withdrawal, some people still burning the American flag, holding the hands of their loved ones died in the war pictures. Too many games where fierce fighting took place.
Local Sunni leaders said: "We are very pleased to be expelled the occupiers, although we have made great sacrifices. To destroy the Iraqi people will pay the price, they have responsibility."
