Defense Secretary Robert Gates, US military leaders in agreement on Iraq recommendations
Friday, September 5, 2008 at 9:54 am Under World News 4 views
WASHINGTON: US Defense Secretary Robert Gates and top US military leaders are “fundamentally in agreement” over how to proceed in Iraq, a Pentagon spokesman said Thursday.
Geoff Morrell, the Pentagon press secretary, did not say what Gates and Admiral Michael Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, recommended to President George W. Bush in their presentations on Wednesday.
The White House said earlier that Bush was “considering his options,” but provided no details.
With dramatic gains in security in Iraq, the US military faces a dilemma over how quickly and how deeply to make cuts in the 142,000-strong US force in Iraq to free up troops for Afghanistan.
