President Bush today faces a tough audience, the United Nations.
In a speech to the U-N, the President will ask for more international help for post- war reconstruction in Iraq.

Six months ago, Bush decided to go to war without the U-N, however, he's not expected to offer any apologies.
Instead, he'll ask for a new resolution to encourage countries to contribute troops and money in Iraq.
It was a year ago that Bush challenged members of the world body to confront Saddam Hussein.
What followed was nations like Germany and France leading a charge against the war.

(( The Hokies return to a normal Saturday afternoon schedule this week when they host U-Conn in a Noon kickoff at Lane Stadium.
In tonight's Tech 2003 Report we're taking a defensive posture heading into the fourth game of the season.
In the preseason - the Tech defense was touted as the strength of the team with nine returning starters and a majority of their back-ups in the fold.
So far - through three games - Bud Foster's gang has lived up to its billing.
The Hokies are ranked first in the Big East in rush defense and total defense - giving up just 2 yards a carry on the ground and 250 total yards a game.
((BUD FOSTER:))
Some mental errors and technique lapses as far leverage and taking the proper angle when tackling have given Foster something to harp on in practice.
He clearly would rather have consistent play over the spectacular.
((BUD FOSTER:))
((MICHAEL CRAWFORD:))
Crawford has been named the Big East's defensive player of the week for his career high 18 tackle performance against Texas A&M.
He and the Hokie will duplicate that effort against a 3-and-1 U-Conn team that is much improved over the one Tech hammered 52-to-10 in 2001.))
