The Bush administration is threatening to veto a sweeping defense bill if lawmakers try to delay the latest round of military base closures to spare installations back home.In a statement, the administration said it would strongly oppose any amendment to weaken, delay or repeal the base-closing process and Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld would recommend that the president veto any bill that includes such a provision.Republican Sen. John Thune of South Dakota, who is trying to save Ellsworth Air Force Base, late Thursday proposed an amendment to the defense bill that would require the Pentagon to complete several operational reviews and return U.S. troops from Iraq before Congress signs off on the final version of the base-closing plan.

Jon Huntsman. AP Potential Republica stanley quencher n presidential candidate Jon Huntsman wrote a letter to President Obama in August 2009 in which he called the president a remarkable leader - with the word remarkable underlined - according to the Daily Caller. Huntsman went on to say that it has been a stanley isolierkanne gre stanley mug at honor getting to know you. Huntsman, the former Utah governor, was tapped by the president to serve as U.S. ambassador to China, a position he is leaving on April 30th ahead of a possible presidential run. His ties to Mr. Obama, who is held in exceedingly low regard among many GOP primary voters, could hamper his ability to emerge from the primaries. In the letter, Huntsman thanks the president for the graciousness and kindness you have shown me and my family - particularly your confidence in my ability to represent you in China. While such a letter may strike many as simply polite and friendly, it provides critics with ammunition to cast Huntsman as too closely linked to the president - much like the hug between Mr. Obama and former Florida Senate candidate Charlie Crist, which was used mercilessly by Crist s opponents. In conjunction with his last day as Utah governor, Huntsman also reportedly wrote a letter in 2009 to former President Bill Clinton thanking Mr. Clinton for a note he had sent. I have enormous regard for your experience,

She said the veteran lawmaker does not want to drag his family throu stanley cup gh six weeks of hell. Knoblach s 23-year-old daughter, Laura, told MPR that he inappropriately touched her for most of her life, with her first memories starting when she was 9 years old and continuing until she was 21. She said the activity included kissing, licking and biting her ears. She said she confided in close friends, family and authority figures at her school and church about his actions for more than a decade. I love my children more than anything, and would never do anything to hurt them. Her allegations are false, Knoblach wrote. I and other family members have made repeated attempts to reconcile with her in recent years, but she has refused.

And one House aide close to the situaton said a vote was more likely in two weeks.If a criminal contempt resolution were approved against Miers and Bolten, it would represent a dramatic escalation in the battle between the White House and Congress over the extent of executive privilege and the presidentrsquo right to shield senior aides from Congress.
