As the election ends with a projected Obama win US soldiers in Baghdad are speaking about what they want from the new president.

They are calling for the new president to remain focused on military, to review the presence of the US troops in Iraq, and to make their needs and the needs of their families a priority.

Michael Pockat, US Specialist, said, "I'd like whichever candidate to win to keep a strong focus on the military, keep the morale up on the troops overseas and back in the States. I'd also like the new candidate to keep the focus on the economy, keep it from falling, keep it strong for the people now and the people to come in the future."

Lewis Maynard, Sergeant, said, "Welcome to office, sir. You have an immense responsibility. Whichever candidate may have been elected,I want you to know I support you 100 percent. I would just ask that you don't forget where you came from, don't forget your voters who put you in the position you now hold. Continue to focus on the military, to be focused on the economy, to help build us back up as a nation."
