Aowg Clinton Hints At Joint Ticket With Obama
Utah Sen. Mitt Romney criticized House Republicans for allowing such a small minority within the GOP to call the shots, by selecting Republican Rep. Jim Jordan to be their speaker.Romney spoke with CBS Evening News anchor and managing editor Norah O Donnell in an exclusive interview, as House Republicans continue to struggle to elect a permanent speaker, after a handful of hardliners in the party ousted Rep. Kevin McCar <a href=https://www.stanley-cups.co.uk>stanley tumblers</a> thy from the post earlier this month. The path forward for Republicans and the House remains uncertain, after Jordan lost 20 Republicans in the first round of voting Tuesday afternoon. He can only afford to lose four Republicans. Well it does seem like the Republicans in the House are letting the tail wag the dog, Romney said. The great majority of the Republicans in the House, I think, would like to have someone that represents the mainstream of our party. Jim Jordan represents a small part of the party, but a very vocal part of the party. And they ve been calling the shots. He s probably not the first choice I would ve made, but it s not my choice, it s up to them, Romney said. Whether he ll get the job or not, I don t know. But if he does get the job, it ll be a case of the dog catching the car, which is, what happens then Romney added, There are people in my party who go to Washington to bark, to make noise mdash; not to make law, but to make noise.

President Bush on Thursday put his positive spin on developments in Iraq, including the news of clashes between Iraqi security forces and Shiite militias in Basra. The fighting is being presented as evidence that the increase in security with the surge of U.S. troops has enabled Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki s government to try to break the grip of these militias and criminal gangs on the st <a href=https://www.stanley-cups.uk>stanley cup</a> rategically vital port city. It looks as though it is a by-product of the success of the surge, in the sense that the Iraq <a href=https://www.cup-stanley.at>stanley thermoskannen</a> i government has grown and increased in capability to the point where they now feel conf <a href=https://www.stanley-cups.fr>stanley cup</a> ident going after extremists, says Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell. And so we, at this point, though still early, would view it as a sign of success. But military officials are following the developments warily. It s not a sign of success, concedes one senior military official. Specifically, military officials are expressing fears that the move could herald an end to the cease-fire declared by radical Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr last August. The cease-fire has been widely credited as one of the pivotal factors behind reduced violence throughout Iraq. Clearly that s a concern, says the senior military official. It s too early to tell. There are concerns, too, that the open fighting between Iraqi Army soldiers and members of Sadr s militia, the Mahdi Army, could fuel still more violence in Baghdad and elsewhere at a time when the administration has taken pains to emphasize
