FILE - This May 27, 2014, file photo shows President Barack Obama, standing in the White House Rose Garden, and speaking about the future of US troops in Afghanistan. Obama outlined a timetable for the gradual withdrawal of the last U.S. troops in Afghanistan, and confidently declared, "This is how wars end in the 21st century." But less than three weeks later, there is a sudden burst of uncertainty surrounding the way Obama has moved to bring the two conflicts he inherited to a close. In Iraq, a fast-moving Islamic insurgency is pressing toward Baghdad, raising the possibility of fresh American military action more than two years after the last U.S. troops withdrew.
