“American military chiefs believe that the global war against terrorism will last at least six years,” The Telegraph reports. “Pentagon officials are being advised to draw up budgets and plans to buy new equipment on the assumption that the struggle against al-Qa’eda and other international terrorist groups will endure until 2008, and perhaps even longer.” Donald Rumsfeld, the defence secretary, has won President Bush’s backing for a sharp increase in
