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 he said troops reductions could begin by next summer.
"I believe that we will be able to reduce our forces to the pre-surge level of brigade combat teams by next summer without jeopardizing the security gains that we have fought so hard to achieve," Petraeus said.
Petraeus joins Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker during the first of two days of hearings on the status of the war and political developments in Iraq.
