Petraeus hints at U.S. troop cuts in Iraq

[Psycho4Bud]

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The U.S. military commander in Iraq has suggested he will recommend a cut in U.S. troop numbers around March when he delivers long-awaited testimony to Congress next week.

General David Petraeus' comments are the latest sign that U.S. commanders believe President George W. Bush's decision to send an extra 30,000 soldiers to Iraq earlier this year has improved security enough to warrant a reduction in force levels.

In Sydney for a meeting of Asia-Pacific leaders, Bush said on Wednesday he saw signs of progress in Iraq on both the military and political fronts and again held out the possibility of a cut in troop numbers from the current 160,000.

Petraeus, in an interview with ABC News, signaled he was looking at March for reducing troop levels.
