Usually 2 or more calendar days worth of
news bulletins are packaged together and will appear on this web page depending
upon the amount and character of the news. Each page which packages several
days of news bulletins has a unique designation in its name, "VOA_n", and a
date "01Feb2003". The "n" is a number between 1 and 10, or a bit larger. You
can expect the number "1" to contain the first few days of news bulletins for a
given month. Then the next number "2" will contain the next few days and so on.
Neither the number or the date indicate the exact date of the news bulletins.
However the date "01Feb2003" indicates the month of the news bulletins. The
entire month of news bulletins is stored under a directory on the server having
the date name "01Feb2003". Typically the population of this web page with news
bulletins may trail the actual date of those bulletins by no more than one or
more days.
Note: Each
news article is set out in 3 colored areas. The yellow area provides the
headline. The blue area contains location context, HFY article summary,
HFY comment, time and credits, and email/printer and streaming audio Urls.
The brown area contains the unaltered news item as originally published
by our sources such as VOA, BBC, DOD, and others. Some variation to this format
may occur.

The following news bulletins on this
web page cover major world events reflecting significant political and social
changes for the period 07-Aug to Monday 11-Aug-2003
Hollywood star Arnold Schwarzenegger is adding his name to the list
of candidates hoping to replace California Governor Grey Davis. More
announcements are expected before Saturday's filing deadline for candidates in
the recall election.
Saying
he wants to "clean up" Sacramento, the actor announced his candidacy during a
taping of the nationally-televised Tonight Show.
California voters will decide, October 7, if they want to remove
their Democrat governor. If a majority of the people vote to oust him, he will
be replaced by the top-polling candidate on a list of possible
successors.
Mr.
Schwarzenegger - a Republican - had political exposure, last year, when he
supported a successful ballot measure to increase after-school programs for
children.
He says
the needs of children and of families will be priorities. "We want to make sure
our children have their books, that they have their place in the classroom. We
want to make sure that our schools have after-school programs," he said. "We
want to make sure that their mothers have affordable day
care."
More
than 300 people have requested the paperwork needed to declare their candidacy.
The forms must be filed with state officials be Saturday.
The
state's most-popular Democrat, Senator Dianne Feinstein says she will not enter
the race. She is urging a "no" vote on the recall. However, the latest polls
suggest a slight majority of Californians would like to see Grey Davis out of
office.
A July
poll indicated Arnold Schwarzenegger had the support of 15 percent of the
voters. Another Republican Former Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan led the
candidates, with 21 percent. Green Party candidate Peter Camejo who polled
eight percent in the survey, says the Schwarzenegger announcement changes the
equation. The actor and the former mayor are friends. Each has said he will
run, if the other does not.
"The
main thing this does is to possibly mean that Riordan is not running. [He] was
the strongest Republican candidate and, therefore, it means there will be the
chance of many Republicans running," says Mr. Camejo. "Therefore, it also
increases the possibility a Democrat may enter the race, now that [he] see[s] a
higher probability of being able to win."
The
Green Party hopes all of this could result in his opening an alliance with
another candidate liberal commentator Arianna Huffington.

American Forces Pull Hidden MiG Fighters Out of
Iraqi Desert

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6, 2003
American forces have found Russian fighter jets buried in the Iraqi desert,
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said in an Aug. 5 press briefing.
"We'd heard a great many things had been buried, but
we had not known where they were, and we'd been operating in that immediate
vicinity for weeks and weeks and weeks 12, 13 weeks, and didn't know they were
(there)," Rumsfeld said.
The secretary said he
wasn't sure how many such aircraft had been found, but noted, "It wasn't one or
two."
He said it's a "classic example" of the
challenges the Iraqi Survey Group is facing in finding weapons of mass
destruction in the country.
"Something as big as an
airplane that's within a stone's throw of where you're functioning, and you
don't know it's there because you don't run around digging into everything on a
discovery process," Rumsfeld explained. "So until you find somebody who tells
you where to look, or until nature clears some sand away and exposes something
over time, we're simply not going to know.
"But, as we
all know," he added, "the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence." |

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6, 2003
Coalition forces uncovered arms caches and more Iraqi civilians are beginning
to work with forces to create stability in the country, a Combined Joint Task
Force 7 spokesman said in Baghdad Aug 6.
Coalition forces continue offensive operations throughout Iraq to identify,
locate and kill or detain Saddam Fedayeen, former regime loyalists, Baathists
and their supporters. In a 24-hour period ending Aug. 6, coalition forces
conducted 18 raids, 2,038 patrols and detained 130 people, Army Col. Guy
Shields said.

Donald H.
Rumsfeld |
| "Each of these successes [in Iraq] — the political
ones, the civil ones and the military ones — each is putting pressure on
those who seek to disrupt Iraq's transition from tyranny to a free and civil
society. Success will take time, let there be no doubt. It will require
patience. There will continue to be attacks and difficulties that will have to
be met. And it will take the continued courage of our coalition forces. Both
our forces and the members of the Coalition Provisional Authority, in my view,
are doing an excellent job for the country and for the Iraqi people." |

| Gen. Wald Says Changed World Drives EUCOM
Transformation |
|
| By Gerry J.
Gilmore / American Forces Press Service |
|
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6, 2003 In
1987 more than 300,000 U.S. troops were stationed throughout Europe primarily
to prevent a Soviet invasion, U.S. European Command's deputy commander noted
here Aug. 5.
Yet, today, just 106,000 American
troops serve within EUCOM's area of operations, Air Force Gen. Chuck F. Wald
pointed out during a Pentagon roundtable meeting with DoD military and civilian
reporters.
Although the Cold War became a relic
of history with the 1989 fall of the Berlin Wall and the demise of the Soviet
Union in 1991, that struggle has been replaced by a "hot" war the war against
global terrorism, Wald declared.
"The
proliferation of terrorists around the world is incredible," he asserted,
noting he "didn't think anybody really, really, knew for sure how broad the
problem was before 9-11."

| Rumsfeld to Examine Options Before Requesting More
Troops |
|
| By Jim
Garamone / American Forces Press Service |
|
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5, 2003 If
needed, Defense Dept. officals will ask Congress to authorize more soldiers.
But first officials at the department would like to see if there are other ways
to handle deployments and not raise the troop ceiling, Defense Secretary Donald
H. Rumsfeld said during a Pentagon news conference Aug. 5.
If after careful consideration, Rumsfeld decides that
the military needs more service members, he will recommend that to President
Bush. But first, there are a number of other methods to extend the span of U.S.
forces.

U.S. Marines Help Iraqi Police In Karbala Get
Back in Business

Marine Spc. Benjamin R. Kibbey |

KARBALA, Iraq, July 31, 2003
When the Marines first went to the main police station here April 26 there were
no police and the station like all public buildings was looted and burned,
while vigilantes held a questionable grip on law and order.
Three months later, with local officials and
representatives of 3rd Battalion, 7th Marines in attendance, the local police
force celebrated the official reopening of the main police station July 31 with
a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Between April and
July, personnel attached to the battalion got the police back to work and
supplied them with vehicles, weapons, uniforms, and most importantly, training.
