Rrib Bush Sorry For Prisoner Abuse
Top diplomats from the United States and Russia each said Monday that bilateral, business-like talks air force 1 in Geneva offered some openings for future engagement on missile systems and military exercises. But the two sides remained at an impasse on the future of NATO membership, which the Russians called a top priority. Speaking air force 1 from Geneva, where the two delegations met to kick off a week of intensive diplomacy, deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman said the U.S. had offered to meet again soon to discuss missile placement and a possible revival of the now-defunctIntermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty. She also said the U.S. had signaled its openness to setting reciprocal limits on the size and scope of military exercises, and to improve transparency about those exercises. Two officials from the Department of Defense, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Russia, Ukraine, Eurasia Laura K. Cooper air force one and Lieutenant General James J. Mingus, are accompanying Sherman during her meetings. Speaking from the Pentagon on Monday, Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby said the Department of Defense is aware of and supports discussing missile capabilities in Europe assuming that there would be reciprocity from Russia in negotiations on that point. The U.S. does not have intermediate-range missiles in Europe and has no plans to put them there, so there would likely need to be more concessions from Russia regarding missiles.

The Christmas dream of Peace On Earth briefly came true one hundred years ago. Mark Phillips has the story of the Christmas Truce of 1914:The old line about never letting the facts get in the way of a good story could have been invented for this scene. The facts are as slippery as the muddy football field -- and the story is so good, it s still being told, even embellished, a hundred years later. It s the story of the World War I Christmas Truce of 1914, when groups of German and British soldiers briefly stopped shooting at each other and met and mingled in the no-man s-land between their lines -- before going back to shooting at each other.On the 100th anniversary, the encounter has been re-staged at one of the places along the old front line in Belgium where the truce originally occurred.The men the story goes not only exchanged greetings and gifts; they organized a soccer game between teams from the two armies -- bo nike dunk high ots and balls instead of bullets and bayonets. It s Christmas, good will! Let s just be friends for asics outlets the day, said Chris B adidas samba damen arker, whose three great-uncles were killed in the war not far from here.
