Congress skeptical of Bush Iraq plan hearings
At Capitol Hill, Defense Secretary Gates and Gen Pace faced sharp questions from Dems and some Republicans about Bush plan to add 21,500 troops. Critics demand a timetable and clear Iraqi commitment while leaders warn against open-ended U.S. involvement. Bush urged patience as Pakistan policy debates continue. The plan includes higher costs, Iraqi force growth, and potential troop recalls.
