WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama announced Friday that he will withdraw all U.S. forces from Iraq by the end of the year, nearly nine years after the U.S. invasion and after more than 4,400 US deaths.

"Today I can report that, as promised, the rest of our troops in Iraq will come home by the end of the year. After nearly nine years, America's war in Iraq will be over," Obama said at the White House.
