US Sends Troops Back to Iraq to Maintain "Surge"
The Pentagon said on Monday it will send another 9,000 US troops to Iraq, with about half of them returning to combat ahead of schedule, in order to maintain troop levels in its new security crackdown through at least August. Two of the affected Army units, totaling about 4,500 troops, will return to combat short of their promised year at home, reflecting the strain placed on US forces by commitments in Iraq and Afghanistan.
