| -Warring Tribes, Here and There By MAUREEN DOWD One former senior Republican official
noted: "The only one who can reach the president is his father. But it is not timely

Poppy explained the facts of international life. -Analysis: Iraq's revenant sons The exile groups are out of touch with local realities and, as The Washington Times notes, compromised in the eyes of the Iraqis by their extensive contacts with the CIA and the United States, their political amateurism and their all-pervasive venality |

| -Anti-war Cry As the war in Iraq continues, many in the U.S. and around the world raise their voices in protest |
| -Struggling to win the war while already losing the peace The propaganda war has now spread from the war to the diplomacy of post-war. It's largely flim-flam, of course. Just as the Pentagon had prepared its war plans for nearly a year before this invasion, so it has prepared its peace plans for almost as long. In the same way that George Bush was prepared to go to the United Nations in the run-up to war so long as it backed his plans, so he is prepared to see the United Nations participate in relief and fundraising for reconstruction so long as it in no way dilutes U.S. control.

| -Halliburton subsidiary wins Iraqi oil firefighting contract |
| -Amy Goodman: Robert Fisk talks of Washington’s ‘Quagmire’ in Iraq, Civilian Deaths and the Fallacy of Bush’s ‘War of Liberation’ It seems to me that this concentration on whether television should show prisoners or not is a kind of mischief: it’s not the point. The issue, of course, is that both sides are taking prisoners, and that both sides want the other side to know of the prisoners they’ve taken. I watched CNN showing a British soldier forcing a man to kneel on the ground and put his hands up and produce his identity card and I’ve seen other film on British television of prisoners near Um Qasr and Basra being forced to march past a British soldier with their hands in the air. |

| -Saddam rejects Bush ultimatum |
| -Two cheers for the peacekeepers Indeed, the anti-U.N. campaign seems just the beginning of a grander conservative project: the scrapping of the old world order--the treaties and institutions that America helped create to stabilize the world after World War II. What on earth has happened to American conservatism? It used to be a reliably dour movement, a sober restraint upon the wishful thinking of mushy-minded liberals. But it has slipped, somehow, from realism to utopian fantasy. |
| -US to use depleted uranium weapons A 1995 report from the US Army Environmental Policy Institute, for example, said: "If DU enters the body, it has the potential to generate significant medical consequences." |
