Sources: Bush to address nation on Iraq, but not in prime time

From Ed Henry
CNN White House Correspondent


WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush is planning to address the nation Thursday morning about the Iraq war, according to sources in the Bush administration and on Capitol Hill.

President Bush is expected to talk about combat tours and the future of Iraq in an address Thursday.

The address will come after Gen. David Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker wrap up two days of testimony to Congress.

Republican and Democratic officials said the president is expected to discuss the administration's decision to reduce combat tours of duty from 15 months to 12 months, as well as the future in Iraq.
