Clinton's visit comes days after President George W. Bush this week announced plans to dispatch more troops as part of a new U.S. strategy for Iraq.


Clinton has criticized Bush's plan as a "proposed escalation of the war in Iraq." Clinton is visiting Baghdad with another fellow Democratic senator, Evan Bayh, and a Republican Congressman, John McHugh.
