Boomberg/AP: Not enough U.S. troops to fight insurgents: senator

BY JAMES TYSON

The United States doesn't have enough military forces in Iraq to quell the insurgency and only about 3,000 Iraqi troops are reliable in combat without significant American support, Sen. Joseph Biden said Sunday.

After a week in which 32 U.S. military personnel were killed in fighting, Biden, the senior Demo-crat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said the forces deployed in Iraq are insufficient to drive insurgents from their strongholds and stabilize the territory.
