So why is it that...
...Mr. Bush came to the U.N. to ask for help?!? Why is it his administration is working feverishly with nations like France and Germany to figure out a compromise that would get the U.N. directly involved?!?
Of course, the answer is quite simple - its because of climbing casualties and falling polls. Its because of an $87 billion price tag to get us through the first year. Its because we made a terrific mistake going it alone in the first place.
