Bush fails to win after-the-war support
When Bush bypassed the U.N. to start the war with Iraq singlehandedly with only a few major allies, he took a big gamble with world opinion. His Administration painted the dissenting nations--especially France--as self-interested cowards who hid behind their talk of international morality. But he hoped that they would come help the war effort after the dust settled and the occupation was in place. But as the _Washington Post_ reports today, Bush Fails to Gain Pledges on Troops or Funds for Iraq. The failure will be borne by U.S. army reservists who will spend even longer times away from home and by American taxpayers who will be financing a much larger percentage of the occupation costs.
