The Astros clinch the NL wildcard, going 36-10 since Aug. 14.
The Texans secure their first-ever winning streak by smacking around the Raiders.
The Aggies move to 3-1 and look much improved from last year’s dismal performance.
Oh yeah, my lacrosse team also won today, but I contributed little. Maybe it’s time to hang up the cleats.
What did the individual viewer think of John Kerry’s performance at Thursday’s foreign policy debate? That answer probably depends on the viewer’s fondness for smoke and mirrors. Well, some of the smoke is clearing.
Iran has dismissed a proposal by U.S. presidential candidate John Kerry, that Tehran be provided nuclear fuel if it agrees to give up its fuel-making capabilities.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi said Sunday it would be “irrational” to abandon its nuclear technology in exchange for supplies from overseas. He said there is no need for Iran to “beg” from other countries.
During a debate last week with President Bush, Mr. Kerry suggested supplying Iran with nuclear fuel for generating electrical power, echoing a proposal made by several western European nations. The Bush administration and some international observers have accused Iran of trying to develop nuclear weapons. Iran insists its nuclear program, including work on enriching uranium, is only for peaceful purposes.
The International Atomic Energy Agency has demanded Iran freeze its uranium enrichment activities. Iran has refused.
I’m sure Kerry has a plan to convince Iran to change its stance. It’s probably typed up (in MS Word using Times New Roman) and filed away with his plan to get more troops and participation in Iraq from our erstwhile European “allies.”
I am sorry that the movements of the armies cannot keep pace with the expectations of the editors of papers.
