(July 12, 2006)--The top American commander in Iraq says more US troops may be needed to curb violence in Baghdad.
Gen George Casey spoke to reporters Wednesday as he welcomed Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld on an unannounced trip to Iraq.
Casey said he's consulting with the Iraqi government on how to counteract the rash of violence in the capital both by al-Qaeda terrorists and Shiite death squads.
Rumsfeld said earlier that Iraq's new government has not decided yet on a security approach necessary before US troop reductions.
During a town hall style meeting with several hundred American troops, the defense chief said years from now they'll look back and feel proud they were part of a democracy-building effort.
He says the first and foremost job is helping the Iraqi people fight any enemy he described as "persistent and ruthless."
