VINEYARD HAVEN, Mass. (August 25, 2010)--President Barack Obama addresses the nation from the Oval Office and also visit troops at Fort Bliss Texas next Tuesday to mark the end of U.S. combat operations in Iraq, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs announced Wednesday.
The president speaks at 7 p.m. Tuesday.
Mr. Obama promised in 2009 to end the formal combat mission by Aug. 31, and earlier this week the White House said the number of U.S. troops staged in Iraq had fallen below 50,000.
Iraq is scheduled to assume security for its own territory after next Tuesday, as U.S. falls into an advisory and backup role.
U.S.-led forces attacked Iraq in March 2003.
More than 4,400 U.S. troops have subsequently died in the fighting.
