Bush has set himself a high challenge. He has made the riskiest commitment by his country in a generation. He has promised Americans that this war will do more good than ill. The President sounded uncommonly confident as he spoke, but wishes are one thing and reality another, especially in a region accustomed to mirages. --Reported by Massimo Calabresi, Michael Duffy and Mark Thompson/Washington; Helen Gibson/London; and Scott MacLeod and Amany Radwan/Cairo
...final directive, issued to little notice on Dec. 6, made the industry a lot happier. The USDA will limit its plant testing to those that make the riskiest products and to plants that do not do their own testing or don't share their results with the USDA.

Instead he woke up Wednesday morning in a new political world, one step closer to the grand, gauzy vision Rove has been touting for the past three years: that together he and Bush are forging a new Republican majority that...
...news: Talent's win meant they didn't just have the state; they had the Senate. They had it all. And with that, George W. Bush lit a cigar. Presidents aren't supposed to bet their prestige on midterm elections, which their party traditionally loses. Rove had peddled the riskiest midterm strategy ever to emerge from a White House, designed to realize the grand, gauzy vision he has been touting for the past three years - that he and Bush are forging a new Republican majority that will rule the land for a generation.
