Iraq Leader Urges Egypt to Stay Course

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Iraqi interim Prime Minister Iyad Allawi urged Egypt on Saturday to stand fast in the face of the kidnapping of one of its diplomats and ignore militants' demand that it abandon any plans to lend security assistance to Iraq.
"It is time for us to close ranks to fight terrorism. There is no way to budge to terrorists and give them what they want," Allawi said in Damascus, Syria. "The only way to deal with terrorism is to promote justice and to close ranks, and we hope Egypt and the Egyptian government will act accordingly." - More

All eyes on Ohio: Showdown shaping up in Buckeye State
Wed August 18, 2004
CNN

(CNN) -- The nation's political epicenter traditionally sits in Washington, D.C. But this year, it may shift several hundred miles west to Ohio.
An evenly divided electorate, telltale political precedent and, most important, 20 electoral votes have focused the attention of party stalwarts and political pundits on the Buckeye State. In terms of candidate visits, political commercials, campaign staffing and grass-roots "get out the vote" efforts, few locations rival Ohio this election season. More

John F. Kerry blasted President Bush yesterday for allowing the ban on semiautomatic weapons to expire, as the Democratic nominee intensified his attack on the president's character, consistency and commitment to fighting terrorism.
In a small gymnasium at the Thurgood Marshall Center in Washington, surrounded by police officers and politicians including D.C. Mayor Anthony A. Williams, Kerry accused Bush of helping put dangerous weapons in the hands of terrorists by refusing to fight for an extension of the ban on semiautomatic weapons.

Gore Charges Bush With Prewar Deceit
Tue Oct 19, 2004
Washington Post

Former vice president Al Gore finished a two-year series of policy addresses yesterday by accusing President Bush of deliberately suppressing information about Iraq that would have undermined his case for war.
Gore said that he had previously resisted saying Bush intentionally deceived the public in the run-up to the invasion but that the evidence now shows "that in virtually every case the president chose to ignore -- and indeed often to suppress -- studies, reports, information, facts, that were directly contrary to the false impressions he was in the process of giving to the American people."

New Bush Guard Papers Leave Questions
Tue Oct 26, 2004
Associated Press via Yahoo! News
|
WASHINGTON - Unearthed under legal pressure, three-decade-old documents portray President Bush as a capable and well-liked Air National Guard pilot who stopped flying and attending regular drills two-thirds of the way through his six-year commitment — without consequence.
The files, many of them forced to light by Freedom of Information lawsuits by The Associated Press, conflict with some of the harshest attacks Democrats have levied on Bush's Vietnam-era service, such as suggestions that Bush was a deserter or absent without leave.
But gaps in the records leave unanswered questions about the final two years of his military service in 1972 and 1973. Chief among them: Why did Bush's commanders apparently tolerate his lapses in training and approve his honorable discharge? More
