I think we are capable of handling it," said Interior Ministry spokesman Javed Iqbal Cheema.Bhutto's aides said they doubted militant commander Baitullah Mehsud was behind the attack on the opposition leader and said the government's claim that she died when she hit her head on the sunroof of her vehicle was "dangerous nonsense."Cheema said the government's account was based on "nothing but the facts"Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton called for an independent, international investigation into Bhutto'...

Once again, the President used an option that he, and every President have always been well within their defined rights to do.Unless someone can expose some major controversy they simply are not going to remove this President from office.The thing that aggrivates me more than anything about this situation is that we've wasted more time pandering and make attempts to do something that is extremely difficult at best to do at this time.Could we maybe work on getting that whole immigration deal wrapped up? Could we please apply our energies to something that will make a positive change in this country and knock off all the crap?

PM aides fear talks with Syria could harm U.S. ties
2007-06-07 16:47:00 Amid reports of a Syrian and Israeli military build up on their shared border, both countries are making peacemaking jestures as well. Apparently, the Israelis have decided that either there will be a peace settlement or there will be war with Syria. The Cabinet met a day after the military staged war games, including a simulated attack on a Syrian village and another that simulated a surprise attack by Syrian commandos on the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. Israeli media has reported a Syrian troop and missile build-up along its borders. "The Syrians are making very concrete preparations but these are defensive," Major General Amos Yadlin, Israel's military intelligence chief, told a parliamentary committee on Tuesday. "They are preparing more for a war than they have done before, but that does not mean they will be ready tomorrow." Meanwhile, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's advisors have warned him that the Bush Administration might not look kindly on peace talks now that an UN...
