"The top US general in Iraq says Iraqis can take over security there within a year to 18 months. Eyewitness News spoke about that timetable with the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Indiana Senator Richard Lugar.
American soldiers may be able to leave Iraq during the next 18 months according to the top US general. Senator Lugar, who was in Indianapolis to speak to the Kiwanis Club, says it's important not to announce a specific date for the Iraqi forces to take control, but Lugar agrees with the 18-month timeline.
'Clearly the American public is anxious. I am anxious about it. Anyone who has someone over there is hopeful they would not be there indefinitely and they won't be. But for the moment headway is being made and some patience is required,' said the senior senator."
