President George W. Bush on Thursday suggested the possibility of further troop reductions in Iraq as the security situation continues to show marked improvement.
Mr Bush said July had been a “month of encouraging news”, with violence declining to its lowest level since early 2004. He added that General David Petraeus, the top US commander in Iraq, had said that while progress was still “reversible” there was now a “degree of durability” to the security gains.
