Read a newspaper: Fri, Sep. 30, 2005 General critical of Iraqi readiness Knight Ridder Newspapers WASHINGTON — An American commander told members of Congress on Thursday that only one Iraqi battalion is able to operate independent of U.S. forces.

George Casey, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, surprised the Senate Armed Services Committee, because Casey had told Congress in June that three battalions were combat-ready. A battalion comprises about 300 men. Republican and Democratic senators alike questioned whether U.S. plans could succeed to draw down forces.
