...Notably absent, however, will be North Korea's most important economic ally, China. Still, a top U.S. official says in meetings in Beijing last week, Secretary Condoleezza Rice received some encouragement when she pressed for tighter controls along China's thinly-patrolled 880-mile border with North Korea to enforce U.N. Security Council-mandated sanctions barring commerce that would advance that nation's nuclear and missile programs. "The Chinese reaffirmed that they support the principles and the objectives of the [Proliferation Security] Initiative but they're not at a point?where they're able to formally endorse the initiative," says...
...There have been previous suggestions of military missteps. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice touched a nerve in April when she said the U.S. had made "thousands of tactical errors" in Iraq. But many officers dismissed her comments as coming from a civilian politician. Others have criticized the military leaders for failing to dispute the flawed war plan set in motion by the President and his top advisers. "Flaws in our civilians are one thing; the failure of the Pentagon's military leaders is quite another," former Marine Lt. Gen. Greg Newbold wrote in TIME last spring. "Those...

There is a widespread view in these parts that the Bush Administration pushed the Israelis to go to war against Hizballah even though the Israelis were clearly not prepared for the campaign. The result, of course, was that Hizballah and its allies have been strengthened politically, while the U.S. and its supporters in the region have been weakened...
...very fact that Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has had to emphasize that she's sure China will actually implement sanctions against North Korea because Beijing voted for them hints at the doubt and discord that persists over the international community's next move. Rice arrives in China Friday for what promise to be difficult talks on how to implement U.N. sanctions against the looming backdrop of a possible second nuclear test by North Korea. A foretaste of those difficulties may have come during her talks with South Korean leaders in Seoul, who appear to have maintained their refusal...
