Iraq developments reshape overview of postwar policy
Secretary Powell said the Bush team is closing ranks with UN critics on a resolution for Iraq nation building. In Mosul eight American soldiers were wounded and three seriously when ambushed by roadside bombs. The U S military reported two Iraqi policemen shot and killed in Fallujah on Aug 9. Bush said the Sept 11 attacks altered his view of Saddam's threat. Putin urged UN direct involvement in rebuilding. Brownlee said U S forces in Iraq are adequate to face resistance.
