...been a Cheney obsession-which is why Republican Senator Chuck Hagel recently suggested that if the President really wants to know who the White House leakers are, he should "sit down" with his Vice President. Cheney's alliance with Rumsfeld has been at the heart of this Administration's hawkish, unilateral foreign-policy fantasies...
...occupier's responsibilities in the Palestinian cities of the West Bank and Gaza. And whereas it has sent its troops on raids in many of those cities in the course of the current intifada, it has studiously avoided long-term deployments or resuming responsibility for civil administration. Even hawkish Israelis who have no intention of surrendering the hundreds of settlements Israel has built throughout the West Bank and Gaza were relieved by the Oslo Accords requirement that they turn over those cities to a Palestinian gendarmerie - having to resume day-to-day patrols, let alone take responsibility for health, education...
That conversation is likely to remain under scrutiny, and so may Joseph, a member of that little-seen Washington breed, the defense intellectual.

...campaign seems massaged, tactical--an act of marketing rather than of conviction. His Senate vote authorizing the war in Iraq is Exhibit A. Unlike Dean, Kerry has longtime antiwar credentials. He investigated the Reagan Administration's support for the contras and opposed the first Gulf War. He turned more hawkish in the 1990s, supporting Bosnia and Kosovo and of course Afghanistan, but the question persists: Did Kerry vote for this war with his heart or with his ambition...
