Zara Gregory · Answer 2

The correct answer is:

D. Announced a plan for a gradual US withdrawal.

The withdrawal of U. S. military forces from Iraq had been a controversial issue in the United States for most of the 2000s. By 2007 the number of U. S. military forces in Iraq had reached its peak at 170,300.

Finally, with the end of the Iraq War troop surge that same year, the withdrawal of U. S. military forces from Iraq started and was completed by 2011, ending the Iraq War.
