Hunter --

I'm James Kvaal, the new policy director for President Obama's 2012 campaign. 
You'll be hearing from me occasionally about the President's policies and those 
of our opponents, and how we can all help bring about change for our country.

Yesterday, we accomplished one major change when President Obama 
announced that all American troops in Iraq will be home before the holidays.

With that action, the Iraq war will end. And one of the President's central promises 
will have been kept.

Both as Americans and as supporters of President Obama, this is something for us 
to reflect on, and be proud of.

Watch the video of the President's announcement -- then please pass this on:

The war in Iraq was a divisive, defining issue in our country for nearly nine years, 
and was the catalyst for many Americans to get involved in politics for the first 
time.

Now, thanks to the actions of this President, we can say that conflict is coming to a 
close.

The end of this war reflects a larger transition in our foreign policy as, in the 
President's words, "the tide of war is receding." The drawdown in Iraq has allowed 
us to refocus on the fight against al Qaeda, even as we begin to bring troops home 
from Afghanistan. And of course, this week also marked the definitive end of the 
Qaddafi regime in Libya.

These outcomes are an example of what happens when a leader sets a plan and 
sees it through. In the last campaign, the President committed to getting American 
troops home while leaving behind a stable and secure Iraq. You rallied around that 
vision, and now that promise has been fulfilled.

On behalf of this campaign and supporters of the President across the country, I want 
to thank the more than 1 million Americans who have served in Iraq, and all those 
who worked to make this possible. 

Thanks,

James
