Bush Fails at UN To Gain International Support on Iraq

HeadlineSep 25, 2003

President Bush’s problems at the United Nations continued yesterday when he ended two days of meetings without receiving international support for more troops or money for Iraq. This according to the Washington Post. Peter Pace, the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, warned yesterday this may force the National Guard and Reserve to activate 15,000 to 20,000 more troops. There are about 144,000 U.S. forces in Iraq, 14,000 from Britain and about 8,000 from other countries.
