Sorry if posted already - thought it was significant with all that is going on lately.
BAGHDAD -- Nearly 4,000 American soldiers have arrived in the capital to strengthen the 12-week crackdown aimed at quelling sectarian violence, the U.S. military said Wednesday, as bombings and shootings killed 12 people across the country.
The developments came on the eve of an international conference on Iraq being held in the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheik at which the U.S. administration is expected to press hard for countries to forgive billions of dollars in Iraqi debt to help the Shiite-led government.
The U.S. military said Wednesday that the fourth of five brigades being sent to help Iraqi security forces as part of the crackdown had arrived this week.
