General George Casey, the top
U.S. commander in Iraq |
August 30, 2006 -- The top
U.S. general in Iraq says he believes Iraqi forces can
take over security in the country with little support
from the international coalition in a year to 18 months.
General George Casey said such a
scenario would not mean, however, the United States
would withdraw any troops.
Instead, Casey said it is part of U.S. plans for
coalition forces to redeploy to larger bases as Iraqis
become responsible for their security in specific
regions.
