U.S. considers sending more troops to Iraq
Sun, Nov 21, 2004UPI
WASHINGTON -- The U.S. army has said it may send several thousand more troops to Iraq before the January elections, the BBC reported Saturday.
Lt. Gen Lance Smith, the deputy head of U.S. Central Command in Iraq, told a Pentagon news conference that military commanders were considering the move.
Smith said the decision depended on the severity of the insurgency following the Fallujah operation. Insurgents continue to hold out in some parts of the city.
Smith said it was "too early to say" if the operation had broken the resistance.
