Top US Commander: We May Need More Troops In Iraq...
<snip>

Two weeks before U.S. midterm elections, American officials unveiled a timeline Tuesday for
Iraq's Shiite-led government to take specific steps to calm the world's most dangerous capital and said more U.S. troops might be needed to quell the bloodshed.

U.S. officials previously said they were satisfied with troop levels and had expected to make significant reductions by year's end. But a surge in sectarian killings, which welled up this past summer, forced them to reconsider.

2. I agree, ASAP! - Bush won't announce Jim Baker's suggestions to
change the War plans until after the election, Bush can't afford to appear wrong before 11/07/06!!
