...Iraqi elections are completed on Dec. 15. He has said this knowing full well that the Pentagon is planning to reduce the force by 20,000 after Dec. 15 as part of its normal troop-rotation schedule.

But then Kerry-and many other Democrats-have been calling for a phased withdrawal of U.S. troops, based on progress in Iraq, as if that were some sort of bold and different idea. It isn't.

...initiatives, particularly in the establishment of a “24/5” opening schedule at Lamont Library. The UC’s advocacy activities have, in the last year, been more or less in line with our priorities, and we don’t hesitate to give credit to presidential candidate John S. Haddock ’07 for the role that he has played in securing these important victories for undergraduates. The success of the Student Activities Committee (SAC), however, is not the problem in this election cycle; instead, we need an executive that is specifically prepared...
