Sentinel worldview

Article Abstract:

The emergency request of the US President George W Bush for a further 87bn to finance the war on terrorism in significant political implications means that the US will hand more on rebuilding Iraq than it is on aid for the rest of the world put together. Further the request undermines two claims that Pentagon chiefs used to build support for the Iraq war: that US military presence would be quickly phased out and that Iraq was wealthy enough to pay for its own reconstruction.
