US sees possible drop in troops in Iraq from 2006
WASHINGTON - The US ambassador to Iraq said on Wednesday that political progress and improving home-grown security forces there may allow the United States to cut its military presence in 2006. âI do believe itâs possible that we could adjust our forces, downsizing them in the course of next year. Thatâs possible given the positive political development and the continuing growth in the credibility of the Iraqi forces,â Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad said at the White House.
