Greenspan Blogs? Not for Long!
Excerpt:
"That may have been Mr. Greenspan’s first recorded use of an exclamation point. But after that first tantalizing entry — a mere 595 words — the blogging career of Mr. Greenspan apparently came to an end. There was none of the gossip and flair that readers have come to expect from the blogosphere."

Excerpt:

By James A. Baker, III - The Big Ten: The Case for Pragmatic Idealism
Excerpt:
"THE PRINCIPLES that guide American foreign policy during the coming years will determine how successful the United States will be as it addresses the complex global challenges that confront us. A foreign policy simply rooted in values without a reasonable rationale of concrete interests will not succeed. But our foreign policy will also fail if it too narrowly focuses on the national interest and disregards the role that democratic ideals and human rights play in establishing a more secure world. These truths will confront the next president regardless of his or her political party. He or she will face an international environment in which the use or misuse of American power in all its manifestations—military, diplomatic and economic—will bear decisively on our national security and on global stability."

Report: Air Force lost track of five nuclear missiles - USA Today Blog
Excerpt:
"Mistakes by U.S. Air Force personnel left five nuclear warheads unaccounted for during a three-hour period on Aug. 30, according to Army Times.
The paper, a fellow Gannett publication, cites anonymous sources who say that five Advanced Cruise Missiles were mistakenly loaded on a B-52 bomber that flew from a base in North Dakota to one in Louisiana. The missiles, set to be decommissioned, should have been removed from the plane. Instead, they were mounted on the bomber’s wings."

Clinton, Obama Back Bigger Army to Blunt Soft-on-Security Slams - Bloomberg
Excerpt:
"Michael Dukakis's tank ride and John Kerry's Iraq flip-flop still haunt the Democratic Party.
This year's presidential candidates are aggressively working to avoid soft-on-security images, keeping in mind the ridicule Republicans heaped on nominees Dukakis for posing as a tank commander in 1988 and Kerry when he tried in 2004 to explain contradictory votes on funding for the war."

Excerpt:
"SEOUL, South Korea, Sept. 3 — North Korea announced Monday that the United States had agreed to lift economic sanctions and remove it from a list of countries accused of sponsoring terrorism, a move that would satisfy one of the North Korean government’s principal conditions for giving up nuclear weapons.
But a State Department spokeswoman in Washington said she did not have confirmation of the North Korean announcement, and Christopher R. Hill, the chief American envoy, made it clear in comments on Sunday that the North Koreans still had work to do before the United States would take the country off the terrorism-sponsor list."
