U.S. Troops to Get Longer Stay in Iraq

The Army said Monday it has extended the deployment of thousands of 3rd Infantry Division soldiers in Iraq due to increased attacks against coalition forces, dashing hopes that the troops would be home by September.

It's the second time 3rd Infantry soldiers have seen the Army renege on a tentative return date. After President Bush declared the heavy fighting over May 1, many families were told to prepare for homecomings in June.
