Commanders in Iraq Challenge Petraeus on Pullout Risk
Gareth Porter, Inter Press Service: "Although Oates did not explicitly address the issue of drawdown plans, he has been known to favour a more rapid withdrawal from Iraq than Petraeus and Odierno for some time, according to a military officer who served under Odierno and is familiar with Oates's views. 'His belief is that we need to get out of the country and let the Iraqis take responsibility for their areas.'"
