Bush made no mention of perhaps the biggest news out of Iraq Monday: the Pentagon’s decision to remove the top U.S. officer in Iraq, Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, from his duty in Iraq. He had come under criticism for his handling of the Abu Ghraib prison torture scandal. Sanchez is expected to be brought back to the U.S. and be replaced by the Army’s second-ranking general, Gen. George Casey.
