Troop strength debate raging


U.S. Army strained without more help

In the wake of the bombing of U.N. headquarters in Iraq, and with fatalities among U.S. forces continuing to mount, key lawmakers are suggesting that more U.S. troops may be needed to quell what has become a guerrilla war.

Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld says no more U.S. troops are needed, but a number of military experts think the Pentagon might soon run out of combat soldiers to send in any case. http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/03235/214252.stm
