Bush Pushes 21,500 Troop Surge to Fix Iraq War
President Bush urged deploying 21,500 more U.S. troops to Iraq, arguing a new surge could end the violence and hasten homecoming. He pressed the Iraqi government to step up, warned of losing American and Iraqi support if promises fail, and faced criticism from antiwar activists and some generals. The plan follows prior escalations with limited success and bypasses a bipartisan regional diplomacy approach.
