BushsaysIraqundercontrol, willsendmoretroopsifasked
WASHINGTON — Denying he has painted too rosy a picture about Iraq, President Bush said yesterday he would consider sending more troops if they were requested, but Iraq's interim leader firmly said they weren't needed.
With violence spreading, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld suggested parts of Iraq might have to be excluded from elections in January.
Bush and Prime Minister Ayad Allawi, standing in the Rose Garden under a bright sun, agreed that Iraq was making steady progress despite bombings, beheadings and violence that has claimed the lives of more than 1,000 Americans.
