It basically means the clock is stopped and started afresh and the US is not in isolation at the UN.
I doubt this will result in any further commitment within Iraq, (other than what has already been agreed to), since nations do not wish to place their forces under a US command - kinda natural and not unexpected!
It does mean Bush can proceed with issuing as many contracts to US companies as he likes for the rebuilding process in Iraq, and frankly good luck to em, cos in the end it is the US taxpayer who will be footing the bill.
The other side of the coin is a picture of a need within the Admin to actually "do something" in Iraq and calm the place on a timetable. This may be feasible or not, but that timetable, apart from a deadline on a constitution, is fairly open-ended. It just needs action now.
The real problem of "peace" in Iraq is,.. well, I doubt that may happen. It is unlikely to even "cool" (but probably escalate), until the US passes over it's military occupation to others. Even then, "peace" is questionable.
The damage is far further reaching than any "war" there...
