...international zone is not safe, it is just safer than the rest of the city.' LIEUT. COLONEL CHRISTOPHER GARVER, U.S. military spokesman, after a suicide bomber infiltrated Baghdad's tightest security cordon and blew himself up in the Iraqi parliament café, killing eight people, including three Members of Parliament
...Japan's wartime actions-and Prince Pickles. The Prince, one of the SDF's cartoon mascots, is a cutesy manga character with saucer eyes and an oversized helmet who is supposed to soften the image of the Japanese military. Although the Prince seems unfit for service in a war zone, he's probably a perfect symbol for the SDF, which by law cannot use force beyond the minimum needed to defend itself and the nation.

Rudd is chasing a younger crowd through appearances on puerile FM radio shows. One of the medium's luminaries, Jackie...

The President has no interest in debating anything. In fact, the current legislative argument over Iraq is right in his comfort zone. He can stand "with the troops"; he can argue that the Democrats want to leave the U.S. military naked in Babylon. He can do what he has done throughout-politicize the war, use it as a bludgeon against Democrats instead of trying to find common ground and thinking through...
