U.S. Military Looks For Ways to Increase Troops in Iraq, If Needed

WASHINGTON - (KRT) - Facing a rising wave of violence in Iraq, the U.S.
military is examining ways to expand the size of its occupation force
there in case reinforcements are needed.
Gen. John Abizaid, the head of the U.S. Central Command, has asked his
staff to determine how the force in Iraq could be bolstered in a "worst
case" scenario, said a senior U.S. military official who briefed
Pentagon reporters by telephone Monday.
"Given the events of this weekend and the obvious potential for more
demonstrations or more violence," the official said, "we have asked the
staff to at least take a look and see what forces are available out
there in a quick-response mode in the event that they should be needed
if there was a widespread move in that direction.
