| Description | Pressure on Congress intensified Tuesday to stop President George W. Bush's plan to increase troops in Iraq, as about 1,000 active-duty soldiers and Marines urged lawmakers to support a quick withdrawal and antiwar groups planned to rally state legislatures.
Although most Democrats and some Republicans oppose Bush's 21,500-troop increase, Congress isn't moving very fast to try to stop or alter the plan. Democratic leaders in both chambers want their first step to be a resolution calling on lawmakers to go on record as being for or against Bush's Iraq plan. |
