Boehner: “The continued drawdown of American troops that began under the previous administration wouldn’t be possible if not for the hard work and sacrifice of our service members, diplomats and their families.”
McCain: “Today marks a harmful and sad setback for the United States in the world. I respectfully disagree with the President: this decision will be viewed as a strategic victory for our enemies in the Middle East, especially the Iranian regime, which has worked relentlessly to ensure a full withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq.”
Graham: “I feel all we have worked for, fought for, and sacrificed for is very much in jeopardy by today’s announcement.”
Kerry: “The United States is fulfilling our agreement with an Iraqi government that wants to shape its own future.”
