WASHINGTON, Jan 24 (Reuters) - A U.S. Senate committee on Wednesday rejected President George W. Bush's plan to add troops in Iraq, sending the measure to the full Senate for a vote expected next week.

On a bipartisan vote of 12-9, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee approved a resolution expressing clear disapproval of Bush's Iraq policy, a day after he asked Congress to give it more time to work. The vote is nonbinding, but supporters hope it will convince the president to reconsider.
