As the war winds down in Iraq, the United States could soon face a tricky question: When can it say we won, or even that the war is over That question has lurked in the background since the war began. Answering it is complicated because the Bush administration has listed several goals for the war. One aim of the campaign mdash; ousting Saddam Hussein and his cohorts f stanley cup rom power mdash; appears nearly accomplished. Gen. Tommy Franks on Friday told his troops that Saddam s regime has ended.But it might take years to see if President Bush s larger goals are fulfilled, like his hopes fo stanley flasche r a free and democratic Iraq, a more stable Middle East and peace between Israel and the Palestinians.The president and his spokespeople have said countless times that the war s outcome is not in doubt in other words, that Iraq would lose mdash; but have been less specific in identifying exactly what that outcome would look like. Asked Wednesday what would have to happen for the president to declare victory, White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said Mr. Bush has said that this is a military mission, that the military remains in harm s way, and until the military mission is accomplished, I don t think the President is going to be at that point in his own mind.

SEOUL -- In what appears to be a response to a recent U.N. report accusing North Korea of crimes against humanity, the country has published one of its own, in which it calls the United States the world s worst human rights abuser. The English-language report provides a laundry list of partly accurate statistics and up-to-date current events that touch upon some of the thorniest issues of Beltway politics, revealing North Korea s interest in U.S. domestic affairs. It draws reference to the NSA surveillance scandal, gun-related crimes, the world s highest incarceration rate, growing unemployment and poverty, and even the soaring housing prices to conclude that the U.S. is a living hell. The report was made available Wednesday on the website of North Korea s state-run Korea Central News Agency under the title of News Analysis on Poor Human airmaxplus Rights Records in US. It falls short of the 372-page report published by the U.N. Commission of Inquiry in March, which detailed crimes by the North Korean government against its own people. Those ranged from public adidas campus executions, torture and forced abortions to imprisonment in concentration camps. Michael Kirby, the former Australian High Court justice who headed the commission, said the crimes against humanity committed by North Korea were strikingly similar to those perpetrated by Nazi Germany. adidas yeezy The latest analysis is not the first time that North Korea has used colorful language to express its indignation.

Noel Garner, a bushy-haired farmer raising cattle in the verdant hills of western Ireland, was stunned when mad cow disease struck his small herd a couple months ago.An even bigger shock came a few days later, when the carcass he had buried at the edge of a pasture showed up back on his doorstep.Neighbors had driven a mechanized digger to the grave, unearthed the cow and carted it back to Garner s place in an old oil barrel.They were afraid that diseased particles would seep into their water supply, says Gus Egan, who runs the livestock mart in Loughrea, County Galway.
