The Seattle Times July 15, 2006 Former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich says America is in World War III and President Bush should say so. In an interview in Bellevue this morning Gingrich said Bush should call a joint session of Congress the first week of September and talk about global military conflicts in much starker terms than have been heard from the president.
"We need to have the militancy that says 'We're not going to lose a city,' " Gingrich said. He talks about the need to recognize World War III as important for military strategy and political strategy. |

Associated Press Fri Jul 14, 2006 ROCK HILL, S.C. - Democrats pulled an Internet ad that showed flag-draped coffins Friday after Republicans and at least two Democrats demanded it be taken down on grounds the image was insensitive and not fit for a political commercial.
The ad by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee called for a "new direction" and displayed a staccato of images, including war scenes, pollution and breached levees as well as a photograph of former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay doctored to look like a police mug shot. |

July 16, 2006 WASHINGTON - The Department of Homeland Security said on Sunday it was urging stepped-up vigilance for possible spillover from mounting Middle East violence.
"We urge vigilance during this heightened state of tension in the Middle East," although there was no specific or credible information suggesting an imminent threat to the United States, the department said in a joint assessment with the FBI. The assessment went to federal, state and local authorities late Friday as well as to private sector leaders, department spokeswoman Michelle Petrovich said. Five days of Israeli air strikes in Lebanon, after Hizbollah fighters seized two Israeli soldiers, have killed 140 people, all but four of them civilians. Hizbollah rockets killed eight people in the Israeli city of Haifa on Sunday. |
