Bush to send more troops
US President George W. Bush is telling lawmakers he will send thousands more US troops to Iraq's two most troubled regions, in a plan that Democrats are resisting as a major escalation of a 31/2-year-old war.
Bush on Wednesday local time will announce a new war strategy and is expected to call for as many as 20,000 additional troops, according to several senators briefed by the president on Monday.
