* Troops alone won't win war in Iraq
* Pilgrims undeterred by bombers' carnage

MONTEVIDEO - President George W. Bush has approved adding 4,400 more US troops to a force buildup already ordered to try to bring security to Iraq, the White House said today.

Bush formally requested about $US3.2 billion ($NZ4.73 billion) to pay for the additional deployment, even as he and Democratic lawmakers battle over his Iraq strategy.
