Bush reshuffles military commanders
United States President George W Bush is changing the military commanders in Iraq, ahead of announcing his new plan for the war.
The top US commander in Iraq, General George Casey, will now head the Army.
General Casey will be replaced by Lieutenant General David Petraeus, who once led the training of Iraqi troops.
The US commander in the Middle East, General John Abizaid, will retire.
General Abizaid will be replaced by Admiral William Fallon, the American commander in the Pacific.
White House spokesman Tony Snow says the President has not made a final decision on his new Iraq plan.
“The one thing the President is committed to is victory in Iraq,” he said.
