Statement

Date: Oct. 22, 2011
Location: Washington, DC

U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar today made the following statement regarding the announcement by President Barack Obama that all U.S. troops will be removed from Iraq by the end of this year.

"I have long supported a military policy in Iraq that focuses on the responsible withdrawal of U.S. troops and the transfer of authority to the Iraqi government. Our troops have shown tremendous courage to get us to this point. The mission of our Minnesota National Guard troops in Kuwait and Iraq to bring our soldiers and equipment home from Iraq is the right one."
