An injured Army Guardsman home from Afghanistan was reunited Thursday with two of the heroes that saved his life in February, but there were no handshakes or salutes. There was, however, a lot of tail wagging. Sgt.

Russian news outlets seized on a Facebook photo of Kobalia, which portrays her posing suggestively with dancing show girls on a bar counter. After the photo surfaced, Russian-language websites erupted...

That is a surge that would make General David Petraeus proud. In fact, the Handel surge was far less likely than our success in Iraq. As a former political consultant, I would first...
