Commander: Time to reassess Iraq needed
WASHINGTON (AP) - March 4, 2008 Adm. William Fallon said he expects Gen. David Petraeus will
suggest to him that come midyear "it's prudent to make an
assessment of where we are."
Fallon said that Petraeus, who oversees combat in Iraq, has the
daunting task of making sure Iraqi security forces are ready to
take over. He said the goal will be to try not to lose the momentum
U.S. forces have gained.
