...concerns are not limited to the possibility of Israel attacking Iran, the sources say; U.S. officials have also cautioned Israelis against launching a ground assault inside the besieged Palestinian territory of Gaza in a bid to stop militants there from firing rockets into southern Israel. Bush Administration officials warn that such an attack could cost many lives and jeopardize the painstaking, thus far futile efforts of U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to broker a peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinian Authority...
...that the move would not be without its negatives. Friends like New York Congresswoman Louise Slaughter are counseling her not to take the job. They say she would be giving up important work in the Senate, particularly on the health-care-reform cause that is her passion. Others warn that her job description at Foggy Bottom would mean she'd lose her own voice. Against that, enthusiasts for the move point out, Clinton is smart, a fast and thorough study, and tough as nails. And with Obama focused on the economy, she could have a big role in repairing...
...weeks now, the auto manufacturers, led by GM, have been warning that they are on the brink of bankruptcy. And they insist that in the current climate, without billions of dollars from Washington, bankruptcy would mean total liquidation, not the restructuring that many experts argue is the only real way to fix the industry. Given the complex, interdependent system of auto-parts suppliers, analysts warn that the loss of one of the Big Three could take down the entire sector - and with it some 2.5 million U.S. jobs - in a cascade effect...
...debate hurled insults and accusations of treachery at one another. The deal currently on the table calls for the U.S. to withdraw its troops by the end of 2011 and gives the Iraqi government a much greater say in what U.S. troops do until then. Opponents of the deal warn that the government has signed secret codicils that give the U.S. far greater leeway than advertised and may keep American troops in Iraq indefinitely. Ajil Abdel-Hussein, an MP loyal to the Shi'ite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, suggested the government was trying to lay the ground...
...There is no denying that the risks of letting GM fail are high. Economists warn that if it fails, GM is more likely to end up with Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidation than Chapter 11 restructuring. Given the current credit crunch, the traditional bridge loans available to companies in Chapter 11 are all but impossible to obtain. And few consumers would be likely to buy a car - the sale of which depends on long-term warranties, service and parts - from a company in a bankruptcy reorganization. The Big Three and their affiliated suppliers account for 2% of the U.S. workforce...
