1) The US military is relying ever more on space satellites to help wage combat in places like Iraq and Afghanistan, though analysts say that Washington's space supremacy could be threatened by rivals in the future. (AFP via Yahoo! News)


2) Vice President Cheney yesterday offered an unusually revealing glimpse of his worldview -- one in which a withdrawal from Iraq may have less to do with Iraq, and more to do with the message it would send to the world about the limits of American power. (Washington Post)


3) Republican senators weighing a 2008 presidential bid united behind President Bush's Iraq policy, while potential Democratic candidates favored troop withdrawals but split over a deadline for ending the U.S. military's combat presence. (AP via Yahoo! News)


June 24, 2006:


1) Sen. Hillary Clinton defended her party's division over the Iraq war yesterday, arguing that Democrats debated the issue this week while the GOP "blindly" embraced President Bush's desires. (New York Daily News)


2) U.S. forces apologised to a senior Sunni Arab religious leader and his two sons after arresting them in a raid on the family's home they said was based on bad intelligence, an Iraqi security source said. (Reuters via Yahoo! Asia News)


3) When two Democrats looking toward 2008 pushed hard for a firm date on withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq, they crashed headlong into Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid's effort to retake the Senate this year. (AP via Yahoo! News)
