What's being discussed in this article? This article is an informative editorial that discusses President Obama's recent declaration of an end to "Operation Iraqi Freedom". It talks about President Obama's opinion regarding his decision and puts in perspective the effects the change will have on the United States as well as Iraq. Although this article gives some opinions regarding President Obama's decision, it is more of an article that focuses on discussing what exactly this new declaration entails. This article puts a historic perspective to the Iraq War, and while it credits the patriotism of the U.S. forces, it shows the Obama's Adminstration's intent to transfer the security responsibilites to its newly government.
When did the event happen? (Is this breaking news or something that's been analyzed and discussed for a while?) This event happened on August 31 and is considered to be breaking news.
What questions do you have that would help make this article make more sense to you? This article was very straight forward and easy to understand. However, I feel that I would understand this article a little better if it included exactly how it will benefit the United States in general.
What more do you need to learn about to be able to report on this event?
I would like to know President Obama's exact plans for the 50,000 troops still left if Iraq.
