More U.S. troops to accompany Iraqis under new plan
Washington officials propose deploying up to 10,000 U.S. soldiers and Marines to advise and train Iraqi units, a shift from current formations. The plan aims to have Iraqis assume more responsibility after the election while debates rise over phased withdrawals and continued U.S. troop presence. Interim PM Allawi cautioned against premature pullouts, saying U.S. forces cannot leave until Iraqi security forces build up, and the Army signaled staying near 120,000 troops for two more years.
