lays down the law in tradeThe Kremlin is increasingly
assertive – and there is little its trading partners can do about it History
provides little comfort The drama has no precedent, writes Harold James The banking
crisis is right at the heart of the financial system, and threatens a complex
pattern of credit guarantees and insurance backstops that were touted as
making the financial system failsafe Forward White House Sends Mixed
Messages on Iran Sanctions The Bush White House is sending a mixed
message regarding sanctions on Iran, pushing for international measures on
the one hand while promising to block congressional attempts to impose
sanctions on the other Jerusalem Post Ex-Cheney

in August, Iran has had the option to cozy up to Moscow and use that
relationship as leverage in talks with the West. However, the West could
offer Tehran accommodations and an energy relationship. Iran will have to
decide which option serves its interests best McClatchy Poll suggests McCain's support

him, the same as last week. Just 71 percent of McCain voters said their
choice was definite. That's down from 77 percent last week

nuclear issue hasn't gone away Robert
Fox: And the IAEA's latest report on Iran has some harsh words for
the regime. With Bush mindful of his legacy, this phoney war could soon turn
real From the latest issue
of The Atlantic Monthly, all counterinsurgency is local: Prosecuting the war in
Afghanistan from provincial capitals has been disastrous — we need to
turn our military strategy inside out. Andrew Bacevich on The Petraeus Doctrine: Iraq-style counterinsurgency
is fast becoming the U.S. Army’s
organizing principle — is our military preparing to fight the next war,
or the last one? John McCain believes the Vietnam War was winnable. Now he argues that
an Obama administration would accept defeat in Iraq, with grave costs to
American honor and national security. Is McCain’s quest for victory a
reflection of an antiquated pre-Vietnam mind-set? Or of a commitment to
principles we abandon at our peril? Is there any war McCain thinks can’t be
won? by Jeffrey Goldberg US News Four

Times Big-bang report blasts Iran The
International Atomic Energy Agency's "serious concerns" and
"outstanding questions" about Iran's nuclear program open the door
for more sanctions against Tehran, or worse, a strike against its nuclear
infrastructure. Lost in the scramble to condemn Iran is the fact that the
agency has on previous occasions deemed these issues resolved, and even in
its latest report ruled out any military diversion at Iran's facilities. - Kaveh
