...begun running into trouble. In its Hamdi ruling, the Supreme Court also challenged the Administration's policy of depriving suspected terrorists designated enemy combatants of any legal review. The court ordered the government to develop a process that would allow the more than 600 enemy combatants at the U.S. naval base at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, to challenge their detention...
...When Singapore was ejected from Malaysia in 1965, it had no natural resources save for the enterprise of its largely Chinese population and its port's position astride one of the world's major shipping lanes. It possessed little industry or infrastructure besides a naval base and ship-repair facilities left behind by Britain's shrinking navy. Most of the population lived cheek by jowl in ramshackle two-story shophouses or traditional village houses fashioned of rattan and bamboo. It was poorer than Mexico.

Bush responded to mounting doubts about the war by offering a glowing assessment of the mettle and readiness of fledgling Iraqi troops, which the Administration hopes will steadily assume security duties, beginning with next week's national elections. At the same time, Bush refused to set a timetable for a pullout, pledging to "settle for nothing less than complete victory." Yet if that means staying until the insurgency is defeated...
