Sen. Jon Tester released the following statement after President Obama announced the U.S. withdrawal from Iraq:
“This announcement is an acknowledgment of the success of America’s troops. I asked the President to stick to the plan to bring them home from Iraq because America’s interests are best served by letting Iraq’s people rebuild their own country. This decision will save taxpayers billions of dollars, but we must not forget that there are thousands of Americans still in harm’s way in Afghanistan and around the world. Sharla and I will always be grateful for their service and sacrifice.”
