Showing Divides, Military Command Won’t Propose Unified Plan

HeadlineAug 30, 2007

The Pentagon has disclosed it won’t issue a single, unified proposal to President Bush during next month’s strategy assessment of the Iraq War. Analysts say the move reflects sharp divides within the military brass on the progress of the U.S. occupation. Military commanders will make separate presentations around the same time General David Petraeus appears before Congress. Outgoing Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair Peter Pace is reportedly planning on recommending a draw-down of troops in Iraq because of strains on the military.
