A long-awaited assessment of war by US Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the Western commander, has intensified debate within the administration over sending additional troops into the fight against a resurgent Taliban.

"I'm very open to the recommendations and certainly the perspective of Gen. McChrystal," Gates told a news conference, when asked about an expected request by the commander for more troops.
