President Obama pictured speaking at the beginning of the daily White House press briefing Friday (October 21) in Washington, DC. Obama announced that all U.S. Troops will be out of Iraq by the end of the year. View full video below.
“After nearly nine years, America’s war in Iraq will be over,” Obama said. “The coming months will be a season of homecomings. Our troops in Iraq will definitely be home for the holidays.”
Since its start in 2003, the Iraqi War has reportedly killed 4,469 troops and injured over 32 thousand. It has also reportedly cost the United States 800 billion to fund. Almost all U.S. troops will be home by the end of December, according to Obama.

With their second season just around the corner, four of the Braxton sisters (Towanda, Trina, Tamar and Traci) along side their mother Evelyn, stopped by Spelman College’s Homecoming and held a private screening of their first episode of Braxton Family Values.
In front of 300 Spelman students, the sisters took part in a little Q&A session and wrapped up the event with an a capella performance of one of their songs. Toni was unable to attend due to her health & filming work in Los Angeles. Later that night, the ladies met up with a small group of media representatives (i.e. CNN, Associated Press, StraightfromtheA, the Atlantic Journal-Constitution) for another screening and private dinner at Atlanta’s Frank Ski’s Restaurant & Lounge.
Check more photos from the event below. Also, be sure to watch the new sneak peek clip where Evelyn sets Tamar straight about her disrespectful actions. Ooo!
The new season of Braxton Family Values premieres Thursday, Nov. 10 at 9pm ET/PT on WE TV.
