A revised U.S. military plan for Iraq envisions American troops being in that country for at least another two years.

The plan, known as the Joint Campaign Plan, was developed by the top U.S. commander in Iraq, General David Petraeus, and the U.S. ambassador in Iraq, Ryan Crocker.

The New York Times newspaper first reported on the plan in Tuesday’s editions.  It calls for restoring security in local areas of Iraq, including Baghdad, by around this time next year, and nationwide security by mid-2009.
