A suicide bomber targeting poor laborers killed 70 people in Baghdad on Tuesday, a day when President Bush was talking to his military chiefs in Iraq to help him draft a new U.S. strategy. A White House official said Bush, who faces popular pressure for a quick withdrawal of U.S. troops, was likely to delay unveiling a new strategy until early in January, instead of late this year as originally planned. The top U.S. operational commander in Iraq, Lieutenant General Peter Chiarelli, said before briefing Bush in a video teleconference that U.S. forces should stay in Iraq until Iraqi forces were ready to assume security control.
