General: Push Back Iraq Assessment to November

HeadlineJul 20, 2007

Top military and administration officials have announced a new date for when they want Congress to assess the war in Iraq: November. On Thursday, the commander of daily operations in Iraq, Lt. Gen. Raymond T. Odierno, said a Pentagon report set for September would be too soon to assess the actual conditions on the ground. President Bush and Republican leaders repeatedly cited the September date in their pleas that Congress reject legislation setting a timetable for a partial withdrawal. The measure collapsed this week after Democrats failed to overcome a Republican filibuster.
