Bush Admin To Ask For More War Money

Bush Admin To Ask For More War Money

The White House is ready to ask Congress for more money for President Bush's plan -- already hotly debated -- to send 21,500 new combat troops into Iraq.

The move would pay for support personnel and otherwise update last month's request for the Iraq war. It probably will draw criticism from Democrats who say the Pentagon had low-balled estimates of the costs of Bush's plan for improving security in Baghdad and Anbar province.
