Mideast dictators try to "wait Bush out." They may be miscalculating.

Democrats Opening Assault on Bush Security Policies (Even NYT’s says “Most of the proposals are not new. Many echo arguments put forward by Democrats and by their 2004 presidential nominee, Senator John Kerry…” Dems fight last campaign; too late!)

Katyusha fired for first time from Gaza
(Unlike the homemade, short-range Kassam rockets frequently launched at Israel, Katyushas have a range of close to 20 kilometers and can carry over 20 kilograms of explosives….The Katyusha fired Tuesday, military officials estimated, was smuggled into Gaza through the Egyptian border.
