Obama said that he is planning to pull combat troops from Iraq by August of 2010. That is three months slower then he promised during the campaign. Although all the "combat troops" would be withdrawn, between 35,000 and 50,000 "support troops" would remain. As of now, All troops must be withdrawn by December 31, 2011 because of an agreement made during the Bush administration.
