Report: Gen. Pace may urge troop cut in Iraq

Paper: Joint Chiefs fear war has hurt ability to respond to other threats

WASHINGTON - The chairman of the U.S. military’s Joint Chiefs of Staff is expected to urge President Bush to cut U.S. troop levels in Iraq next year, the Los Angeles Times said Friday, citing military and administration officials.

Marine Gen. Peter Pace, whose term as chairman expires at the end of September, is expected to contend that keeping significantly more than 100,000 troops in Iraq through next year would severely strain the military and compromise its ability to respond to other threats, the newspaper said.

The top U.S. commander in Iraq, Army Gen. David Petraeus, is to give his much-awaited recommendation next month on how to proceed with military operations in Iraq in a report expected to spark a firestorm of debate on the unpopular war.
