...Bush Administration back to the point where it has accepted firm withdrawal deadlines. The current version, described by U.S. officials as a "final" draft, specifies that U.S. forces will withdraw from Iraq's cities "no later than June 30th, 2009", and from all Iraqi territory "no later than December 31st, 2011." There is certainly a provision for those dates to be subject to "review," but changing them would require agreement from both sides. Effectively, the draft agreement puts any "conditions-based" decision to extend the deadline into the hands of the Iraqi government. And on current indications, the Iraqis...
...Maddow is the one AAR host who's had a continuous daily gig since the network began on March 31, 2004 (her 31st birthday). Air America originally hoped to lure audiences with brand names from other media: Saturday Night Live's Al Franken, rapper Chuck D., comedian-actress Janeane Garofalo. But radio talk is an acquired skill, and the two Air Americans best at it were both radio veterans: Randi Rhodes and Maddow. Rhodes, a hard-line humorist who mixed Michael-Savage-of-the-left analysis with Belle Barth earthiness, was AAR's top-rated host when she lost...
...until next August, it's unwise to disagree. Plus, he's right on point. Today at China Agriculture University, Cejudo became the youngest gold medal winner in U.S. wrestling history when he dropped Japan's Tomohiro Matsunaga in the final match. The win shocked the wrestling world; Cejudo placed 31st at last year's world championships. But he upset 2006 world champ Radoslav Velikov of Bulgaria in the first round here. Cejudo was supposed to medal in 2012, maybe even '16. But not in Beijing...
...while living at a camp in Kenya, he learned about a U.N. program to resettle 3500 Lost Boys into the United States. He penned an essay about his experience - "I was writing in Swahili, and English, and Swahili, and English," he recalls - and was picked. On July 31st, 2001, he moved in with a family in upstate New York. During his early days living in the U.S., Lomong wouldn't throw away a leftover McDonald's chicken sandwich, not believing that you could actually get more the next day. He learned the basics, like how to operate a shower. "Cold...
...gradually reduced Wednesday's game to a cross between football and water polo. Along the sidelines the ball stopped bouncing and rolling - conditions under which a match could be abandoned. But once Hakan Yakan converted a pass from Gelson Fernandes that nearly stopped dead in the goalmouth, in the 31st minute, there was no way the game was going to be stopped. Both teams had to settle for knocking long balls in the air like any other pub team and hoping for the best. The best turned out to be Turkey - Semih Sentürk to be more precise...
