...Scenario 1: The President really intended to pressure al-Maliki on al-Sadr and failed. There is a lot of circumstantial evidence for this. There were two spectacular-one might even say suspicious-front-page news leaks in the New York Times in the days before the summit. First there was the report that Hizballah was training members of al-Sadr's militia. This placed in one bull's-eye almost all Bush's favorite evildoers-Hizballah; Iran and Syria (which support Hizballah); and al-Sadr, whose Shi'ite organization has been responsible for much of the recent violence against...
Similar to the Kessler-Martin scenario, Martin has been splitting time with senior Riitta Schaublin. Schaublin earned First-Team All-American honors last year and provides a strong second option for the Bulldogs...

...don’t even care that they won an Ivy League title in the process. It was a long-shot entering Saturday that Dartmouth would win, the only scenario in which Harvard would have a chance at a league crown. I didn’t expect a championship celebration on the field after the game—especially not from Yale. It wasn’t even about records or rings—it was about the rivalry. And in that respect, I suffered the let-down of the year...
