"The Iraqi Ministry of Defense, and the Minister of Defense, and the generals working within the Ministry of Defense will have command and control over their troops. But we also expect that for the unity of command and to make sure there is no confusion as what we are doing with respect to security, they will put those troops under the direction of the multi-national force commander who will be an American," he said.
