Odierno Sees Embedding U.S. Troops If Iraqi Forces Stall
General Raymond Odierno, retiring Army chief, said in Washington that if Iraqi forces make slow progress against Islamic State in the coming months, the United States should consider embedding some American troops with them. He added the move would not place U.S. forces directly in combat. Odierno stressed the region must solve its own problems through political and economic reforms, not U.S. military action alone.
