...Yahoo! might have the edge right now, but that could evaporate as fast as Colin Powell's opposition to war in Iraq. Indeed, Google News is an innovative stab at solving the info-glut problem that plagues so many of us. In a world of proliferating headlines from around the globe, news aggregation might be best left to the machines. After all, can any human editor really keep pace? The appetite for international news exacerbates the problem. Al Jazerra was an unknown news service for years and now suddenly Americans are interested in its reporting from Qatar. And that plays...
...hard enough to organize a pre-emptive war with midterm elections looming and the stock market swooning and close allies refusing to participate. So the first-strike hard-liners in the Bush Administration must have found it hard to swallow when Secretary of State Colin Powell, speaking on a video conference call with the vacationing President in Texas last month, argued for the need to go through the United Nations before marching on Baghdad. But Powell pitched it cleverly, says a senior State Department official, in a way that showed "how it would work without limiting the President's options...
...just a politically necessary warm-up for the main event. Bui*At the countries that forced Bush to try inspections first could see things very differently. They could well be pleased if the process somehow takes the air out of the American case for war.

"The resolution, or resolutions, must be strong enough ... that they produce disarmament and not just inspections," said U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell. That was the easy part. State Department official Marc Grossman visited France and Russia - veto-holding Security Council members along with China - to win support for the draft. France and China want a two-step process with a second resolution should Iraq defy the U.N. Russia opposes...
...image of General Rove drawing up war plans exists mostly in the imagination of Democrats who fear and loathe the man. Insiders swear that Vice President Dick Cheney, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and Secretary of State Colin Powell wouldn't stand for interference from a political operative. Superhawks Cheney and Rumsfeld didn't need Rove to tell them to target Saddam, and Powell has warned the White House that he doesn't expect to receive, and won't accept, phone calls from Rove...
