President Bush is sending 21,500 more Americans to Iraq, arguing it has been a mistake not to commit larger numbers of U.S and Iraqi troops to stabilize the increasingly violent, shattered country. Democrats pledged to confront Mr. Bush over the troop escalation. Unveiling a retooled war strategy in a prime-time address from the White House, the president acknowledged in unusually stark terms how dire the situation is — because of errors in U.S. assumptions and failures by the government in Iraq to follow through on promises. The U.S. is changing its goals, switching from a focus on training Iraqi security forces to securing the battered population and targeting economic aid toward the worst violence. Mr. Bush is putting the onus on the Iraqis to meet their responsibilities and take the lead in the fighting, but without the threat of specific consequences if they do not. <<< Click on the subjects at left to view elements of the plan the White House calls "The New Way Forward In Iraq."
