US-IRAQ-CONGRESS
TO GO WITH AFP STORY:US-Iraq-Congress BY Stephen Collinson
This file photo combo shows the White House(L) and the US Capitol in Washington, DC. President George W. Bush and his Democratic foes in Congress this week fire the opening shots in a long-brewing clash likely to seal the fate of US war strategy in Iraq. Lawmakers return from their summer break 04 September for a week of hearings and political theater to set the stage for Bush's critical progress report on the war, due by September 15. Then, in the week of 09 September, war commander General David Petraeus, and US ambassador to Baghdad Ryan Crocker will make one of the most significant appearances in Congress for years, to deliver their verdicts on the war. At stake is the fate of Bush's last-ditch strategy to 'surge' 28,500 extra troops into Iraq, after a highly unpopular four year-war which has killed more than 3,700 US troops and tens of thousands of civilians.
