...Reinforcing that link will be the job of U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney, who began a weeklong Asia tour on Saturday. His first stop: Tokyo, where thousands of antiwar demonstrators flooded onto the streets to amplify tearful pleas by the families of the three captives for immediate Japanese troop withdrawal. Just hours after news of the hostage crisis became public, the Japanese government vigorously rejected pulling out its soldiers. For Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, keeping the troops in Iraq is in part a matter of pride. The 550 members of the country's Ground Self-Defense Force in the southern...
...would all have been more logical verbs for this one) called attention to the fact that she and the president still have yet to admit having failed in any way. This is all the more glaring (by juxtaposition, as it happens) given the recent sight of her former colleague Dick Clarke, apologizing explicitly for the government’s failure to prevent Sept. 11.

Even the Aug. 6 memo to the President from the CIA, which was titled "Bin Ladin Determined to Strike in U.S.," was seen...
...turning on the electricity, negotiating with Sunnis, Shi'ites and Kurds-were not nearly so important as the strategic goal. Iraq was to be liberated. The rest would fall into place. Last week Bush's neoconservative strategists seemed in desperate need of a few good tacticians-obsessive bureaucrats like Dick Clarke who live crisis to crisis, who have no bigger thoughts than chasing down bin Laden or getting the lights turned on in Baghdad...
