...keeping a stranglehold on Palestinian towns to curtail attacks by Palestinian radicals. Yaalon told columnists from three newspapers that the Israeli government's "tactical decisions" were at odds with its "strategic interests." Military officials say Yaalon fears current policies will exacerbate the humanitarian crisis in the Palestinian territories, fuel popular rage and so provoke more attacks on his soldiers. Yaalon blames Sharon's hard-line policies for also contributing to the downfall of Mahmoud Abbas, who became the Palestinian Prime Minister in April, offering hope for the peace talks, but who resigned four months later. Sharon, an unapologetic and often...
...outed as part of a longtime dispute between Bush moderates and hard-liners over the strengths and shortcomings of the agency's prewar intelligence on Saddam Hussein. Wilson, who had been sent by the CIA to Niger in 2002 to check out rumors that Saddam was seeking nuclear fuel there, went public with his skepticism about that charge in a New York Times op-ed piece in July.

(North Korea is believed to have built one or two crude nuclear bombs during the 1990s...
...further isolated us from our neighbors by rejecting the Kyoto Treaty outright, instead of working with other nations to try to improve it. He thinks you should pay to clean up after corporate polluters. He’s stood in the way of our efforts to make cleaner, fuel-efficient cars. And if he would put even half the effort into trying to bring back jobs that he’s put into trying to drill his way through our most pristine national resources, we’d be in business...
...announcement late last year that it was restarting its nuclear program. The country has been a constant foreign-policy headache for the Bush Administration, with Kim Jong Il's government ratcheting up the tension in the region on Oct. 3 when it claimed to have finished reprocessing spent fuel rods and said that it was building a nuclear arsenal. North Koreans live in utter poverty under a Stalinist system, yet Kim's grip on power is as strong as ever. On his trip to Asia this week, President Bush will face many questions about North Korea...
