Obama, Jordan's Abdullah offer united front on Syria Posted: 22 Mar 2013 12:44 PM PDT By Matt Spetalnick and Suleiman Al-Khalidi AMMAN (Reuters) - President Barack Obama and Jordan's King Abdullah presented a united front against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on Friday as Jordan grapples with a refugee crisis caused by Syria's civil war. Obama, in Jordan following a visit to Israel and the West Bank, pledged new aid to help the country deal with the refugee crush but stopped short of promising military assistance to Syrian rebels to speed the departure of Assad after a two-year civil war that has claimed 70,000 lives. Syria dominated talks between Obama and King Abdullah. ... |
Turkish PM says Kurdish peace moves open to sabotage Posted: 22 Mar 2013 12:08 PM PDT By Nick Tattersall and Daren Butler ISTANBUL (Reuters) - Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan accused Kurdish politicians on Friday of trying to sabotage talks to end a 28-year-old insurrection, lamenting the absence of Turkish flags during a mass rally to mark a ceasefire by Kurdish rebels. Jailed rebel leader Abdullah Ocalan called on his fighters to cease fire and withdraw from Turkey in a letter read to hundreds of thousands in the city of Diyarbakir in the mainly Kurdish southeast on Thursday. Kurdish red-yellow-green flags and banners displaying Ocalan's face dominated the crowd. ... |
Between Middle East visits, Obama dashes Arab hopes Posted: 22 Mar 2013 11:43 AM PDT By Tom Perry CAIRO (Reuters) - President Barack Obama was greeted with calls of "We love you" when he visited Cairo in his first term, seeking to turn the page on the Bush era with talk of a new beginning for ties between the United States and the Muslim world. Four years on, Egyptians who attended the Cairo University speech feel let down, a view that hardened when Obama, who has had a volatile relationship with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, showed solidarity with Israel's leader during his visit there, and stressed the depth of U.S.-Israeli ties. ... |

When the Whole World Has Drones Posted: 22 Mar 2013 05:29 AM PDT A slim aircraft glided through Israeli airspace, maintaining low altitude and taking a winding path to avoid detection. It flew over sensitive military installations and was beginning its approach to the Dimona nuclear reactor when it was blown from the sky by the Israel Defense Forces. The plane was pilotless, directed by agents elsewhere, and had been attempting to relay images back home. Whether they were successfully transmitted, Israelis won't say, perhaps because they don't know. But here's what's certain: It wasn't American. It wasn't Russian or Chinese. ... |

A Decade of War: What the U.S. Military Learned Posted: 22 Mar 2013 04:14 AM PDT The 10-year anniversary of the Iraq war has rightfully prompted extended soul-searching about a conflict that cost the nation dearly in blood, treasure, and international prestige. After every battle and conflict, in fact, the U.S. military goes through a similar routine of self-examination called the "After Action Review" ("What just happened?" "Why?" "What does it mean?"). These often uncomfortable exercises in second-guessing are the essence of learning institutions. ... |
US rethinking lowest-priced contract rule for guarding embassies Posted: 22 Mar 2013 03:43 AM PDT By Susan Cornwell WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. lawmakers are reconsidering a 1990 law that makes the State Department accept the lowest bids for contracts to provide private security at most U.S. diplomatic posts, a requirement that can lead to the hiring of thousands of guards based on how cheap they are rather than their quality. Concerns about the policy, which was aimed at cutting costs, were heightened by the assault on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya, last September, in which U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed. ... |

Posted: 21 Mar 2013 03:30 PM PDT My war began a decade ago on a bluff in Kuwait, on the far-western flank of the U.S. invasion force. Spread out on the desert floor below was the 3rd Infantry Division's "heavy metal"—tanks and armored fighting vehicles—to spearhead the attack. At dusk on March 20, 2003, the artillery brigade opened up on the nearby Iraqi border posts. Muzzle flashes flickered across the dark desert landscape like lightning in a squall; the distant thunder of impact sounded the approach of an angry giant. The next morning, as we drove past a smoldering checkpoint, the soldier next to me, Maj. ... |
