WASHINGTON, D. C. -- At a speech to Marines at Camp Lejune in North Carolina, President Barack Obama said he plans to withdraw most U. S. troops from Iraq by the end of August 2010.

Approximately 40,000 troops would remain in Iraq, however, but would be gradually withdrawn by December 31, 2011, a deadline set under an agreement between the Bush administration and the Iraqi government last year.

"Let me say this as plainly as I can: By August 31, 2010, our combat mission in Iraq will end," Obama said to cheering Marines. "By any measure, this has already been a long war, and it is time to bring our troops home with the honor they have earned."

Read the excerpt from twelfth night, by william shakespeare. if music be the food of love, play on; give me excess of it, that, surfeiting, the appetite may sicken, and so die. that strain again! it had a dying fall: o, it came o'er my ear like the sweet sound, that breathes upon a bank of violets, stealing and giving odour! now read the excerpt from "the love song of j. alfred prufrock." for i have known them all already, known them all: have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons, i have measured out my life with coffee spoons; i know the voices dying with a dying fall beneath the music from a farther room. what does the phrase “dying fall” most likely mean in both excerpts? the noise is jarring. the noise is soothing. the sounds are fading. the sounds are too loud. mark this and return
