POPSThe Iraqi Upturn This started out as a "good news" clip...and it is! But is the Washington Post suggesting that *President Obama* can take credit for the withdrawal?

POPSAs Race Wanes, Talk of Clinton as No. 2 Grows What say you, Obama supporters? I can not imagine Michelle and Obama's advisers agreeing to any such a' thing. Hillary would rule and dominate. I'd never vote for her, but I wish (sometimes) that my candidate had such tenacity and fortitude. And then at other times...I wish they would all go away.

POPSObama advisor: Jerusalem must be included in peace talks "...as opposed to the current Israeli administration which is not.." So the Israeli governments that resist and oppose the sovereign lose of Jerusalem *must* make the concession? This alone is enough to confirm that I would never vote for Obama.

POPSAl-Qaeda Iraq leader 'arrested' This is wait-and-see since he was said to have been killed last year, I think. The word "detained" is troubling, indicating that there might be a chance for his release; but maybe the BBC was being polite & diplomatic. He had a $5m bounty on his head. Even if he has been captured an amazing *escape* is always possible.

POPSKenneth Starr: Open to the public Boy, did Bush I make a mistake by passing over him. This is a nice article which reflects on the entire man, not just his *job* of investigating the lies of Mr. Clinton. Remember when "war" was declared on this man? The Clinton machine and the press chewed him to pieces...but he still got the truth.

POPSHamas warns of intifada Well, isn't this just great? The US and Europe plan to fork over millions of dollar to the PA, Gaza and the West Bank still believing that we can *buy* peace. We can promote a "two state solution" till the cows come home but it's purely words and wishful thinking. I guess someone figures that as long as *we* keep talking the inevitable will not happen.
