Powell Says US Troops To Begin Departing Iraq This Year
EFL American troops will begin leaving Iraq this year as the Iraqi army, national guard and police force take on a larger security role, says Secretary of State Colin Powell. "But I cannot give you a timeline when they will all be home," Powell told National Public Radio in an interview released Wednesday by the State Department. Powell also ruled out any U.S. move to postpone elections scheduled Jan. 30 in Iraq to choose an interim legislative assembly. Posted by: sludj 2005-01-12 |
