The United Nations has announced plans to open an office in Jordan to deal with the refugee crisis caused by the Iraq War. 1.8 million Iraqis have fled to neighboring countries — mostly Syria and Jordan. Meanwhile, the U.N. estimates 4.5 million Iraqi children are now undernourished. In Washington, the White House is preparing to ask Congress for more money for the Iraq War. The Bush administration says the plan to send in over 21,000 more combat troops has been more expensive than projected.
