"The long war in Iraq will come to an end by the end of this year."

"As promised, the rest of our troops in Iraq will come home by the end of the year."

"The agreements indicate the deep and enduring ties between the United States and both Colombia and Panama."

"And just as we're working to cultivate the next generation of thinkers, we're also working to fast track the next generation of doers."
