Ebullient Democrats stood and cheered as the final vote—315-116—was announced. "For 10 years the lowest-paid Americans have been frozen out," said Rep. George Miller of California, berating Republicans who had refused for years to allow a vote on a stand-alone minimum wage increase. "The little guy is not going to be forgotten any longer," said Rep. Bill Fascrell, whose district includes gritty Paterson, N.J. He estimated the increase would mean an additional $4,400 a year for a family of three. . "The small businessmen we are trying to help for the most part are little guys," countered Rep. Howard McKeon, R-Calif. He said Republicans favor an alternative coupling a minimum wage increase with tax breaks for small businesses. Other Republicans argued that raising the minimum wage would hurt employment chances for the lowest-paid workers. WASHINGTON—President Bush acknowledged for the first time Wednesday that he erred by not ordering a military buildup in Iraq last year and said he was increasing U.S. troops by 21,500 to quell the country's near-anarchy. "Where mistakes have been made, the responsibility rests with me," Bush said. The buildup puts Bush on a collision course with the new Democratic Congress and pushes the American troop presence in Iraq toward its highest level. It also runs counter to widespread antiwar passions among Americans and the advice of some top generals. In a prime-time address to the nation, Bush pushed back against the Democrats' calls to end the unpopular war. He said that "to step back now would force a collapse of the Iraqi government, tear that country apart and result in mass killings on an unimaginable scale." "If we increase our support at this crucial moment and help the Iraqis break the current cycle of violence, we can hasten the day our troops begin coming home," Bush said. But he braced Americans to expect more U.S. casualties for now and did not specify how long the additional troops would stay. In this video frame grab taken from television, President Bush addresses the nation from the White House library in Washington on Wednesday. In his address, Bush admitted to having made mistakes wlh his policy on the war in Iraq, saying, "...the responsibility rests with me." In addition to extra U.S. forces, the plan envisions Iraq's committing 10,000 to 12,000 more troops to secure Baghdad's neighborhoods—and taking the lead in military operations. Even before Bush's address, the new Democratic leaders of Congress emphasized their opposition to a buildup. "This is the third time we are going down this path. Two times this has not worked," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (news, bio, voting record), D-Calif., said after meeting with the president. "Why are they doing this now? That question remains." There was criticism from Republicans, as well. "This is a dangerously wrongheaded strategy that will drive America deeper into an unwinnable swamp at a great cost," said Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb. Cisco sues Apple over use of iPhone name IraqPM cracks down in Shiite militiamen BAGHDAD, I r a q Iraq's prime minister has told Shiite militiamen to surrender their weapons or face an all-out assault, part of a commitment U.S. President George W. Bush outlined to bring violence under control with a more aggressive Iraqi Army and 21,500 additional American troops. Senior Iraqi officials said Wednesday that Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, under pressure from the U.S., has agreed to crack down on the fighters even though they are loyal to his most powerful political ally, the radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr. Previously, al-Maliki had resisted the move. In a speech that was carried live at 5 a.m. on Iraqi state television, Bush laid "out his new plan to quell violence in and around the Iraqi capital in a televised address to the nation Wednesday night. In earlier operations, the president said, "political and sectarian interference prevented Iraqi and American forces from going into neighborhoods that are home to those fueling the sectarian violence. "This tune, Iraqi and American forces will have a green light to enter those neighborhoods," Bush said. "Prune Minister Maliki has pledged that political or sectarian interference will not be tolerated." Before Bush spoke, a senior Shiite legislator and close al-Maliki adviser said the prime minister had warned that no militias would-be spared. SAN FRANCISCO—Apple Inc.'s muchballyhooed iPhone was unveiled this week after ^o months and millions of dollars in top-secret development. But the sleek new iPod-cellular phone combination could wind up costing the company a lot more. Cisco Systems Inc., the world's largest networking equipment maker, sued Apple in San Francisco federal court on Wednesday, claiming that Apple's iPhone violates its trademark. Cisco is asking the court to forbid Apple from using the name "iPhone," which Cisco has held a trademark on since ork Stoics Crossword ACROSS 61 Lower 1 63 Fort Worth 15 Physics unto also known as 16 Flurry 17 Slew 18 Mghtght ol Beethoven's Ninih Symphony 20 West Coast boot, familiarly 65 Situate 67 Sounds from tho end ol a leash _ 39 68 Bryotoglsls' 43 study 21 Srte/hs pairing 23 People ol the Southwest 25 "Neither DOWN anyone else ..." 26 Caudex, in bolany 1 "Cotno on in' 2 Messy Ihing lo eat 29 Group dato? 8 6 9 9 ?c R. & All events located on campus. 3 mascot in 33 The Deep' co-sla/. 1977 college sports 4 Caribbean oxport 34 Arrest 36 21-Of 55-Across 7 _5_|8 1 I" 6 7 Corrections 9 8 O) 42 Banks 44 Vs. 5 Many hints in 'Hlnls From Holoiso" on ihe edge of Ocoanus 48 Like some shoes 52 A pop 9 54 Deletes 55 Ho/sho pairing 24 Part filler 45 Attack suddenly 28 CDff dwelling 46 Phony 6 Ship's passage 30 PoFrt. label 7 Shoeless hero ol fiction 31 Boy toy 8 Speed gauge 34- DormV.I.P.'s 9 Creation location 35 Objects, e.g. 47 Goddess whoso home was 50 Poke (around) 8 1 Four-legged 32 Toothpasle tube tenors 41 C00IKJ90 and others The policy of The Daily Utah Chronicle is to correct any error made as soon as possible.
