Pentagon officials were left scratching their heads late Tuesday over the latest ominous anti-U.S.-missile-shield pronouncement from the Russian foreign ministry. It warned of unspecified military action shortly after the nearby Czech Republic agreed to be the new home of an aging missile-defense radar system that has spent the last nine years at Kwajalein Atoll in the south Pacific. "We will be forced to react not with diplomatic, but with military-technical methods" if the shield is ever deployed, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement. The tracking radar slated to move to the Czech...
...Moscow lobbed this latest verbal missile toward Washington after Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and her Czech counterpart, Karel Schwarzenberg, signed an agreement in Prague for the radar's move, designed to warn of missiles headed toward Europe from Iran. "We face with the Iranians, and so do our allies and friends, a growing missile threat that is growing ever longer and ever deeper and where the Iranian appetite for nuclear technology to this point is still unchecked," Rice said after inking the pact. "It's hard for me to believe that an American president is not going to want...
...urgent, as the Turks had four players suspended for their semi-final with Germany. But that is a lesson of experience they will learn. Turkey's last-gasp comeback in the cloudburst that was Basel was the game of the tournament - until its even more insane win over the Czech Republic, and its you've-got-to-be-kidding-me last-second draw with Croatia. The semis was a just reward for their "why not win?" attitude. Give us more of that, please, although it's possible that Turkish coach Fatih Terim retired because his heart couldn't take...
...Here he's working with a heftier ($65 million) budget and shooting mostly in the Czech Republic under Hollywood supervision, but the movie is pure Bekmambetov, as odd and beguiling as his home-grown stuff. He still has the ability to bring wit to the most sadistic scenes, in a way that leavens the violence, lets aggression approach artistry. You see it in a brief scene where Wesley finally takes revenge on his cheating friend and whacks him with a computer keyboard. The letters come loose and, tumbling slowly in air, form the letters F-*-*-* Y-O-U - except that...
...away - caught Turkish keeper Recber Rustu off his line and lobbed a pass to Ivan Klasnic for a free header and a goal at 119 minutes. But nothing seems to motivate the Turks more than getting behind, as they demonstrated in clawback wins against both Switzerland and, sensationally, the Czech Republic. The Croats had barely pulled themselves off of their victory pile when Semih Senturk somehow responded at 121:46 (the latest ever goal in the tournament's history) with an unstoppable smash off a long kick from Rustu that somehow ended up on his foot. It's a wonder...
