the party it's coming september it would mean nearly limiting missions for u s troops in iraq president bush decide when the troops should leave so far the i dad was not attracted the attention of the democratic leaders there under substantial pressure by anti war groups to consider only legislation or troops from iraq but the g o p approach quickly to become the attractive alternative for republican lawmakers who want to challenge bush on the unpopular war without backtracking from their past assertions that it would be disastrous to set deadlines for troop withdrawals this is a necessary adjustment in a national debate to reintroduce bipartisanship to stop the gotcha politics that are going on that seem to be driven by the fringes on both sides and change the terms of the discussion said representative phil english a republican from pennsylvania english is among more than forty republicans in the house and senate who are responsible legislation intended to shift the mission of s troops several other g o p lawmakers facing tight election next year and a strong anti war sentiment in their district say they are considering disapprove settling sunni shiite rivalries over who occupies what street in baghdad is not in a vital interest of the united states said representative heather wilson republican from new mexico who said she was considering her options and we should only have americans in harm's way where there are u s interests at stake bush's top military commander in iraq general david petraeus is expected to tell congress in september that more time is needed to determine whether a massive u s led security pushed initiated in january is working the message is unlikely to be well received on capitol hill democrats have criticized the strategy as escalating a failing war republicans say they want to see progress made by fall chill piece of port has proved crucial to bush installing and i war proposals in a democratic run congress legislation or us troops out of iraq has passed repeatedly in the house only to sink in the senate where republicans threaten a filibuster democrats fall short of a sixty votes needed to cut off debate house democrats plan to try again this week with a bill that would begin pull up this fall republicans are expected to overwhelmingly oppose it if bush cannot convince g o p lawmakers by september that he is on the right the republicans are expected to demand change but many of them long on record as opposing an end date for the combat say it makes sense to focus on the mission instead get this approach would amount to a de facto mandate for troop withdrawal because of the large number of forces assigned to combat missions the goal they say is to end the u s led daily patrols in the streets of baghdad and restrict troops to fighting al qaida terrorists and training iraqi security forces if you do that you've greatly reduced the loss of life which is matters most said representative mike castle republican to delaware the idea of forcing such a change gained prominence last december when iraq study group concluded bush should do more to hand over the combat missions to iraqi forces the bipartisan commission envisioned an ambitious a new diplomatic push with u s troops remaining in the region primarily to supply and train the iraqi army and to target terrorist cells since then some forty republicans and thirty one democrats have signed on the legislation by representative mark udall democratic colorado and senator can salazar democratic colorado that urges bush to embrace the commission recommendations his small amount growing number of republican support requiring that bush submit to congress a detailed new military strategy to change the mission of the u s troops senator susan collins a republican of maine  sponsor of salazar's legislation on iraq study group wants to go further binding legislation that would order bush to restrict admission of u s troops to quote counterterrorism training iraqis and protecting u s assets for most of these lawmakers their decision to embrace changes has colored by politics wilson's fellow republican from new mexico senator pete domenici the mental domenici about that recently broke with bush on iraq and embraced salazar's proposal castle was among a dozen lawmakers challenged in an ad campaign in may featuring three retired general same politicians cannot expect to win reelection if they support bush's iraq policy and then of base so guinea base so the fisherman who came across bags of white powder bobbing in the ocean

houses used by colombians they have license plate numbers of s u v s supposedly used to transport cocaine and tail number of planes painted with a blue stripe from which drugs allegedly are  retribution from politics involved in the drug trade the information we have clearly points to the conclusion that traffickers are operating on a large scale and have almost complete impunity in guinea so as antonio mazza tele west africa director un office of drugs and crime of drug traffickers were to imagine a perfect base for their operations they would have conceived something similar to the world's poorest nation its government is so poor it's police cannot afford handcuffs police charged with counternarcotics has only two working squad cars over for over seventy officers blocking money for fuel they often run out of gas during car chases after suspected drug smugglers officers ar allowed to leave to find something to eat if they promise to return the police say they are doing their best to try to stop the influx of drugs and the government has openly requested western help in combating the traffickers but senior diplomats claim that  same government deliberately keeps the police under equipped because most of its officials have been bought off in september according to the police accounts undercover cops were tipped off to a pending drug shipment and afraid their squad car would break down or run out of gas they ran a taxi they arrested two colombian nationals was six hundred seventy four kilograms that's about one thousand four hundred eighty six pounds of cocaine
