'I will withdraw US troops from Iraq'
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama says, if he is elected president, he will pull out the US forces from Iraq within 16 months. Obama said on Wednesday that the Iraq war had made the United States less secure and that he would withdraw American troops from Iraq within 16 months of taking office. The US has witnessed on Wednesday, series of planned anti-war rallies across the nation, commemorating the fifth anniversary of the US-led war in Iraq. The Illinois Senator, taking advantage of the occasion, described his rival Hillary Rodham Clinton as the one who could not be trusted to end the Iraq war. Obama said Clinton only started opposing the war when she began her presidential race, AP reported. "Ask yourself,'' Obama told the crowd, "Who do you trust to end a war: someone who opposed the war from the beginning, or someone who started opposing it when they started preparing a run for president?"
