...like in and out," a senior House G.O.P. leadership aide says. "They're in, they're out, they're in, they're out. You're never quite sure where they are." Bush unveiled an energy plan and then disappeared, they complain. On campaign finance, he didn't lend a hand. Requests for protection of budget items are mocked as mere pork--a point Representative Saxby Chambliss, whose Georgia district may lose its B-1 bomber contingent, raised with Bush in one of their meetings.

As phony IDs went in those days, it probably would have been unremarkable had it not borne a most unusual feature--the signature of a future U.S. President...
...decade. But the fact that such an eventuality now appears to be upon us is in no small part a product of NATO's failure, out of concern for the safety of its own personnel, to do two things: Tackle the Albanian extremism incubated in its Kosovo protectorate, and lend a firm hand to Macedonia's efforts to stop it from taking root...
