Needing Help in Iraq, U.S. Weighs How to Get It From U.N.: "the Bush administration is acknowledging that the mounting costs of the operation, in both human and financial terms, are too great for the United States alone to bear.
Until now, the 'vital role' that President Bush has promised for the United Nations has been limited, by American design, to a grudging endorsement of American unilateralism. But now the United States' need for troops and dollars that only other countries can provide is prompting a reconsideration of those old, narrow lines."

President Bush is famous for "not caring what other people think". Well, he went ahead and invaded Iraq in the face of incredible international opposition, and now he realizes we can't afford it. We're losing troops at the rate of hundreds a year and money at billions per month.

This was completely predictable. It was predicted. He has failed. He should resign.
