Iraq elections delayed but U.S. troops to depart by August
Gen. Ray Odierno told The Associated Press that the near two month elections delay will not push back the planned departure of American combat troops from Iraq by the end of August. He said the plan allowed flexibility for the delay and that they remain on track. The vote shifted from January to March 7 amid wrangling over vote apportionment. Remaining 50,000 U.S. troops will shift to training and other noncombat duties.
