Bush undecided over Iraq troop deployment

US PRESIDENT George W Bush yesterday admitted he hasn’t decided whether to send more troops to Iraq or begin bringing them home, saying he is awaiting the military’s recommendations.

He also shrugged off protests that greeted him in the world’s most populous Muslim nation, Indonesia, calling it a sign of a healthy democracy.

“It’s not the first time people have showed up and expressed their opinion about my policies,” Mr Bush said. “But that’s what happens when you make hard decisions.”
