U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) made this statement on President Obama's announcement today American troops will leave Iraq by the end of the year.

"I respectfully disagree with President Obama. I feel all we have worked for, fought for, and sacrificed for is very much in jeopardy by today's announcement. I hope I am wrong and the President is right, but I fear this decision has set in motion events that will come back to haunt our country."
