US congress may block Iraq funding
US President George Bush will address the United States on Wednesday about his new approach for the war in Iraq, the White House said today.
Bush is expected to announce an increase of up to 20,000 additional US troops.
The address is scheduled for Wednesday night, (2am Irish time, Thursday).
Bush's decisions, more than two months in the making, already are drawing criticism from the new Democratic leadership of Congress, who say it is time to begin ending the war, not to send in more US forces.
