...hands of his own people." The U.S. tried to encourage a putsch by sending e-mails to members of Saddam's inner circle, including military officers. The regime responded by blocking the Iraq server so that no one could receive any messages. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld announced his future press conferences will be beamed into Iraq by Commando Solo, a modified cargo plane now operating along Iraq's borders...
...aggressive North Korean posturing that verges on nuclear blackmail. And by the time the U.S. got around to sitting down with North Korea, it might be dealing with a nuclear-armed state, one that would be in a much stronger bargaining position than now. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld has said the U.S. could, if necessary, fight a war in two theaters. That's an inadequate justification for current U.S. policy.

Palestinians regard these settlements about the same way as Israelis do suicide...
...easier than a nuclear weapon," says Bayh. Saddam could then threaten: "You want to stop my action here? Fine. But you should know what I have in Los Angeles, you should know what we have in Chicago, or fill in the blank." Or, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld told members of the House last week, according to Congressional sources, Saddam could strike inside the U.S. by handing off horrific substances to terrorist groups able to operate here...
