...presence in Iraq, but that's exactly what it is. The only way to give soldiers and Marines more time in the U.S. is to reduce the total number of troops in Iraq at any given time. American troops have not being sent to Iraq at such a punishing pace because nobody cares about their well-being; they're being sent there because it's the only way for the U.S. military, with its current manpower, to keep up with the demands placed upon it by Congress and President Bush...
...eventually physical, psychological and logistical facts - not posturing in Washington - will require a substantial reduction in the American troop presence in Iraq. There are simply limits to how long the U.S. military can operate at this pace. The President is claiming that the additional 30,000 troops who arrived in Iraq as part of the surge can now return home because they have accomplished their mission.

Karamanlis, who describes himself a "compassionate conservative," called for an early trip to the ballot box ahead of the August wildfires, seeking...
...PORTUGUESE POLICE HAVE HANDED 3,000 pages of evidence to the district attorney, who in turn submitted them to a judge who must decide whether to bring charges against the parents. Given the usually glacial pace of the Portuguese justice system, the decision may not be quick. Meanwhile, the McCanns are back in England, surrounded by a resolutely supportive family. Some in Britain have called for the other McCann children to be removed to protective custody. Kate and Gerry won't allow that without a fight. They have hired top lawyers, including one who barred the extradition of Chilean dictator...
