...return of hard-hitting political attack ads that have characterized both sides. When Chambliss first ran for the seat in 2002 against the incumbent Max Cleland, he aired ads that accused Cleland, a triple amputee and decorated Vietnam veteran, of not being patriotic enough and soft on Osama Bin Laden. Fast forward six years and the attacks have been just as ugly. One of Chambliss's charges is that Martin raised taxes as he voted to raise his own government expense account. Martin fired back with an ad saying Chambliss had "supported George Bush's economic policies every step...
Will he go for a chic pied-a-terre in Barcelona's Barri Gotic? A hacienda amid the Andalusian olive groves? Or will Omar bin Laden discreetly opt, as so many of his countrymen already have, for a marble and gilt-clad villa in Marbella...

Earlier this year, he made the same request at the British embassy in Cairo, asking for a settlement visa that would allow him to live in the U.K. with his British wife Jane Felix-Browne - who now goes by the name of Zaina Mohammed Al-Sabah. Although in that case he alleged that his life was endangered both in his native Saudi Arabia and in Egypt, where he currently resides, the British were apparently...

Now the public's interest - and U.S. involvement there - is dwindling almost by the day. Obama's bumper-sticker plan for Afghanistan - more troops to catch bin Laden - is being swallowed up in a befuddling tangle of intractable issues, ranging from the Afghan heroin trade to the instability of Kashmir. Foreign policy breeds surprises in American Presidents: Nixon went to China; Reagan proposed nuclear disarmament; Bush changed from "humble" to imperial in a single morning. Compounding the unpredictability...
