US studying forces in Iraq if violence worsens
U.S. military commanders are examining how they could increase troops in Iraq should violence spread further. Generals say they have enough forces to handle current attacks including Shiite militia actions, but seek options if the situation deteriorates. President Bush criticized Muqtada al Sadr, saying he will not let the push for democracy be blocked. The violence killed eight U.S. troops, a Salvadoran soldier, and at least 52 Iraqis. The officer briefing spoke on condition of anonymity.
