U.S. Pressures India To Send Troops to Iraq

HeadlineJul 28, 2003

General Richard Myers, Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, arrived in Delhi today to pressure the Indian government to provide troops to the Iraq occupation. India has so far refused such requests saying they must be made by the United Nations not the United States.

Meanwhile in Japan, lawmakers voted Friday to send troops to Iraq despite protests. Opposition parties charged the deployment of troops violates the country?s pacifist constitution that was drafted after World War II.
