The United States has already committed troops to the Philippines, and President Bush has approved plans to send troops to Yemen to help train its military to fight terrorists. The administration is also considering sending troops to the former Soviet Republic of Georgia.
Today, Mr. Daschle again expressed reservations about these plans. He said the first phase of the war was not yet complete, noting that Osama bin Laden, whose Al Qaeda network is considered responsible for the Sept. 11 attacks in the United States, was still at large.
"We're not safe until we have broken the back of Al Qaeda, and we haven't done that yet," Mr. Daschle said. "I think the jury is still out about future success."
