Hard Iraq choices loom, says Bush

US President George W Bush has said the conflict in Iraq will require "difficult choices and additional sacrifices" in the coming year.

Mr Bush called for an increase in the size of the US military, but he said he had not yet decided whether to boost troop numbers in Iraq.

He spoke as new US Defence Secretary Robert Gates began his first visit to Iraq, two days after taking office.

Mr Bush is expected to announce a new strategy for Iraq next month.

Everyone else realizes that there is no more troops to send to Iraq except Bush, McCain and Lieberman.

That the US military is a money making machine, there are currently around 120 thousand serving in Iraq but only 20-25 thousand are front line troops and all they doing are protecting the other personnel.
