Franks Says U.S. Troops Could Stay In Iraq Four Years
Gen. Tommy Franks told the House Armed Services Committee that U.S. troops in Iraq likely won’t decrease significantly from about 148,000 next year. He warned hit and run attacks would persist and that involvement could last two to four years. President Bush urged patience and resolve while Powell defended the mission and future rebuilding. Congress pressed for justification amid ongoing casualties and questions over war aims.
