Department of Defense Briefing

(Also participating was Deputy Director for Regional Operations, Joint Staff Operations Directorate, Brig. Gen. David Rodriguez)

MR. DIRITA: We wanted to just get together and just go over a handful of items. We've obviously had a typically busy week here at the Pentagon. We made the announcement regarding the additional capability in Iraq that General Casey sought and will receive to sustain the momentum post-Fallujah and to prepare for the elections, get ready for the Iraqi elections, which are moving forward. So we thought it would be useful to kind of pull together some additional information and put out what we can and take your questions. And with that, I'm going to ask General Rodriguez to give sort of a summary, and then we'll take your questions.
