by on

“U.S. Army Gen. David Petraeus, the top U.S. military commander in Iraq, and U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Ryan C. Crocker are briefing Congress this week on their assessment of the security situation in Iraq.” Report (9 pages, PDF) | Slides (14 pages, PDF)

  • Press release: “Army Gen. David H. Petraeus, commander of Multinational Force Iraq, told the House Armed Services and Foreign Affairs committees today that the surge in Iraq is showing progress, and that he believes troop reductions to pre-surge levels could begin by summer 2008 without jeopardizing gains made. Petraeus joined U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Ryan C. Crocker during the first of two days of hearings on the status of the war and political developments in Iraq. The general told committee members that he recommended a drawdown of surge forces in Iraq to President Bush and defense leaders. Petraeus said he recommended that a Marine expeditionary unit deployed as part of the surge not be replaced when it leaves Iraq later this month and that one of 20 U.S. combat brigades not be replaced when it redeploys in mid-December. If the general’s recommendations are approved, four more brigade combat teams and two surge Marine battalions could redeploy without replacement during the first seven months of 2008.”
