Israel's Olmert says peace deal closer than ever - Yahoo! News

Israel's Olmert says peace deal closer than ever - Yahoo! News:

"PARIS - Embattled Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert declared Sunday that
Israel and the Palestinians have never been closer to making peace — even as a
widening corruption probe brings him closer than ever to being ousted from
office."

This will be a victory for the Middle East, for Israel and the Palestinians. The only loser in this is Iran, which would have the newly focused Israel staring it down, and Iran would have one less ally on its side.

U.S. and Iraq near a 'bridge' deal on status of U.S. troops

U.S. and Iraq near a 'bridge' deal on status of U.S. troops:

"BAGHDAD - By the end of July, US and Iraqi officials hope to finalize a deal
that would map out the role and length of stay for US troops in the country."

What ever the length of American troops in Iraq is, I think it cannot be a unilateral political decision made in Washington. That means McCain can't force the troops to remain, and Obama can't force the troops to leave. What is missing in much of the discussion is what do Iraqi's want, and I am not sure that is a simple item to answer.

This is a change that has been a long time coming.

Search for adventurer Fossett resumes - Life- msnbc.com:

"BRIDGEPORT, Calif. - The search for multimillionaire adventurer Steve Fossett,
who vanished in September after taking off by plane from a remote Nevada ranch,
is set to resume Monday in rugged mountains on the California-Nevada line where
he may have crashed."

Yeah he is probably dead, but I still think there is a chance he just wanted to escape into a private settled life.
