The UK's Daily Telegraph reports Bush gives in to UN over cash for reconstruction. There's slightly less to this story than the headline suggests as it appears from the text that the UN will get supervision over new, non-US Iraq aid, not over US aid. Still, if there were another secret concession out there somewhere it might begin to explain how the US got all those votes in favor of Security Council Resolution 1151.
