Odierno: 40-50% of Baghdad ISF responsibility by 4Q 08'
Today, 8% of Baghdad is under 100% control of ISF, with ISF assisting the Americans in the other 92%. Odierno predicts the percentage of 100% ISF responsibility to be 40-50% by the end of next year.
[ODIERNO]...We are anxious for them to take over full responsibility. As well they’re anxious to take over full responsibility. And we work closely together, and we will continue to do that as we move forward.
REP3: When you say large portions, ballpark 40, 50, 60%?
ODIERNO: I would say by the end of the year. Again, you all want me to look into a crystal ball and then a year from now you say while a year ago you said 50%, we’re not at 50%. I will tell you I think it will be somewhere between 40-50% by the end of the year
