It's an indication of how badly things are going for the Bush Administration that its hopes are pinned to a man implacably hostile toward the U.S.--and whose supporters...
...recommendations of the HCCR cannot faithfully be implemented until CGE’s are fully formed and ready to deploy. To hasten this process, the “Gang of Five,” or whoever chooses to be in charge, can begin by making CGE’s unambiguously central to general education.

Ex-guerrillas now deploy their motorized rubber boats, on which they had trained for commando maneuvers, to ferry passengers across the Neelum River where bridges have collapsed. Immediately after the quake, militants were first on the scene in many villages, getting there far quicker than the Pakistani army, and they applied their expertise in first aid to save injured people pulled from fallen buildings. Their knowledge of the saw-backed ranges along the Line...
...troops and watch things disintegrate, or we can stay in Iraq and watch things disintegrate. The only benefit to the first scenario is that Americans won't be the ones getting killed. Allen B. Ury Costa Mesa, California, U.S. It seems clear that the U.S. needs to deploy additional troops in Iraq and that commanders have repeatedly asked for more manpower. Any military historian knows that a war cannot be won when the enemy is allowed either to rearm or to get money and additional troops on a regular basis. That situation is occurring in Iraq because the U.S. does...
