US, Britain mull major troop pull-out from Iraq next year
LONDON (AFP) - The United States and Britain are considering the withdrawal of more than 100,000 coalition troops from Iraq next year as one of many options but no decision has been made, the British defence ministry said.

"We have always said that it is our intention to hand over the lead in fighting terrorists to the Iraqi Security Forces as their capability increases," said a defence ministry spokeswoman.

"We therefore continually produce papers outlining possible options... this is but one of a number of papers produced over recent months covering various possible scenarios," she told AFP.
