EDs: APNewsNow.
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - President Barack Obama will speak to
soldiers at Fort Bliss in El Paso next week before delivering his
Oval Office address on Iraq, a White House official says.
The official, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of
anonymity because he wasn't authorized to speak about it publicly,
says the president will speak to the troops on Tuesday. He will
return to Washington that day to deliver a televised address about
Iraq, the official said.
Obama ordered all but 50,000 troops to leave Iraq by Aug. 31.
Those left behind will no longer be allowed to go on combat
missions without being joined by Iraqi forces.
