Such a U.S. troop increase is exactly what the British fear, however. The British ambassador in Afghanistan, Sir Sherard CowperColes, was quoted in a diplomatic cable leaked to the French investigative magazine Le Canard enchaine last week as telling the French deputy ambassador that the U.S. presidential candidates "must be dissuaded from getting further bogged down in Afghanistan.

Town of Merton The WIAA Division 1 track and field Arrowhead Sectional had all the elements of a sensational meet, and not just because several state leaders were scheduled to compete Thursday afternoon.
There was redemption for those who struggled for most of the season but pulled it all together in the nick of time.

For almost 20 years, journalist Margaret Lowrie Robertson carried the first page of her first novel with her as she traveled the world, from Beirut to Cairo to Amman. And finally, when she settled at her current residence in London, Robertson kept the page, and her idea, close at hand.
