In an item in the
Guardian today (I couldn't get it to load from the Guardian site, so
here it is from
Common Dreams), it was reported that:
"The Bush administration has scaled back its ambitions to rebuild Iraq from the devastation wrought by war and dictatorship and does not intend to seek new funds for reconstruction, it emerged yesterday.
In a decision that will be seen as a retreat from a promise by President George Bush to give Iraq the best infrastructure in the region, administration officials say they will not seek reconstruction funds when the budget request is presented to Congress next month, the Washington Post reported yesterday."

Ok, analyze that. Is my title hyperbolic in any way?
I gotta go to work.
