...belated move to support Georgia, which reluctantly joined the Russia- dominated Commonwealth of Independent States only two weeks ago, Moscow has cut off energy and fuel supplies to Abkhazia and has sealed the border with the rebel-held region. Still, Georgian officials fear that their country faces complete collapse unless the Kremlin sends Russian troops to help recapture the Black Sea region and quash the spreading rebellion in the Transcaucasian state...
...signed. These wackos run to defensive positions when you stand up to them. They're not dumb. They went to school on Somalia. Now maybe they realize that Clinton needs to show some stickum some place, and that they're the ones that are going to get stuck unless they capitulate.'' And as of Saturday evening, capitulation finally seemed a possibility -- although, it needs to be said, the Haitians supposedly capitulated months ago.

Supporters of the credits haven't been able to overcome opposition by Republican senators, the White House and a handful of fiscally conservative Democrats, who won't vote for the credits unless they're paid for as they go. Supporters have tried paying for the credits by rescinding tax breaks for oil companies; they've also tried raising the funds by eliminating tax loopholes that benefit hedge fund managers. Even though oil executives and hedge fund managers are perhaps the most widely hated two groups...
