...ability to wage the war he sees fit, and the White House shows no sign of backing down this time around. In fact, the chances of the Administration subscribing to any kind of restrictive legislation grows dimmer as the situation on the ground in Iraq continues to improve. "To pull the rug out from under them now seems irresponsible," White House press secretary Dana Perino said last week. Indeed, the betting inside the Pentagon is that the Democrats will fold in the coming weeks, once they feel comfortable telling their supporters that they tried their best to shut down...
Rudd is offering the country just enough tinkering around the edges of government policy in the areas of Iraq (a phased pull out of Australia's 1,400 troops), industrial relations (abolition of an unpopular Howard program) climate change (ratifying the Kyoto Protocol), education (more laptops in high schools) and communications (faster Internet access) to convince Australians that it's worth making a change.

Clifford finished with a game-high 22 points, matching his total from the Crusaders’ 82-69 win at Lavietes Pavilion last November. Vander Baan started by scoring Holy Cross’s first nine points and had a season-high...
...high-minded disquisition on the need to observe human rights in Pakistan, with the question, "What you're saying, Governor, is that human rights, at times, are more important than American national security?" Richardson seemed to gulp: Was I saying that? What do I do now? Uh, can't pull a Hillary. And so, very deer in headlights, he said, "Yes." This gave Blitzer license to ask each candidate the same question. Barack Obama wandered around in it. "The concepts are not contradictory ... they are complementary." True - but foolishly fuzzy. It was Dodd's turn next, and he said without...
