WASHINGTON (AP) — The top U.S. military officer said Tuesday the Pentagon is developing plans to get troops quickly out of Iraq and into Afghanistan to battle a more confident and successful Taliban. Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told The Associated Press in an interview that the military can make the changes President-elect Barack Obama wants in both wars. “I’ve been listening to the campaign, and I understand,” Mullen said. “And he has certainly reinforced that since the election.”
