White House stays firm on ports deal despite critics
The Bush administration will not reopen its approval for Dubai Ports World to run portions of six U.S. ports. Stephen Hadley said talks to persuade Congress will continue while a delay buys time, and former 9/11 Commission head Thomas Kean blasted the deal as a grave error, noting hijackers linked to the UAE and money laundered there. Kean urged an end to foreign control of U.S. ports as criticism grows.

Pentagon says Iraqi units slip to zero combat ready line
The Pentagon reported that Iraqi battalions judged capable of fighting the insurgency without U S help fell from one to none since September while those able to lead with U S support rose about 50 percent and actual combat units grew 11 percent. The goal remains training enough units to lead while pursuing eventual full independence and troop withdrawal. The report notes insurgent strength waning and democracy development, written before recent Shiite shrine bombing.
