More Forces for Iraq

US military expansion in Iraq will put the biggest number of troops on the ground there since the invasion. More than 10,000 service men and women already in Iraq will see their tour extended -- some for a second time. Another 1,500 fresh troops are on their way. November tied as the deadliest month so far in Iraq for American forces. The Defense Department expects things to get more violent in the run up to January's elections. (Philadelphia Inquirer)
