The only thing local readers have to do is call the National Distribution Hotline before the 48-hour deadline with their order for the • handmade Amish Fireplace Mantle. Everyone who does is instantly being awarded the miracle hente1• absolutely free. This is all happening to announce the HEAT SURGE Roll-n-Glow" Fireplace which actually rolls from room-to-room so vou can • turn down your thermostat and take the heat with you anywhere. 'l'hat way, everyone who gets them first can immediately start saving on their heat bills. · Just in time for winter weathet·, portable Amish encased fireplaces are being delivered directly to the doors of all those who beat the deadline.

There are 30 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On Dec. 1, 1955, Rosa Parks, a black seamstress, refused to give up her seat to a white man on a Montgomery, Ala., city bus. Mrs. Parks was arrested, sparking a yearlong boycott of the buses by blacks. On this date: In 1824, the presidential election was turned over to the U.S. House of Representatives when a deadlock developed between John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson, William H. Crawford and Henry Clay. (Adams ended up the winner.) In 1909, the first kibt:Jutz was founded in the Jordan Valley by a group of Jewish pioneers; the collective· set· tlement became known as Degania Alef. In 1913. the first drive-in automobile service station, built by Gulf Refining Co., opened in Pittsburgh. In 1921, the Navy flew the first nonrigid dirigible to use helium; the C·7 traveled from Hampton Roads, Va., to Washington, D.C. In 1934, Soviet communist official Sergei M. Kirov, an associate of Josef Stalin, was assassinated in Leningrad, resulting in a massive purge. In 1944, Bela Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra was premiered by the Boston Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Serge Koussevitzky. In 1959, representatives of 12 countries, including the United States, signed a treaty in Washington setting aside Antarctica as a scientific preserve, free from military activity. · In 1969, the U.S. government held its first draft lottery since World War II. In 1973, David Ben-Gurion, Israel's first prime minister ' died in Tel Aviv at age 87. In 1989, in an extraordinary encounter, Soviet President Mikhail S. Gorbachev met with Pope John Paul II at the Vatican. East Germany's Parliament abolished the Communist Party's constitutional guarantee of supremacy. Ten years ago: President Bill Clinton addressed a World Trade Organization conference in Seattle, where he defended his administration's policies in the face of sometimes violent street demonstrations. An internation· al team of scientists announced it had mapped virtually an. entire ~uman. ~hromosome. On World AIDS Day, United Nattons off1c1als released a report estimating that 11 million children worldwide had been orphaned by the pandemic. · Five years ago: Tom Brokaw signed off for the last time as principal anchor of the "NBC Nightly News"; he was succeeded by Brian Williams. Texas Gov. Rick Perry blocked the execution of Frances Newton two hours before she was to be lethally injected for the deaths of her husband and two young children so her lawyers could conduct new tests on evidence in the 17-year-old murder case. (Newton was executed in September 2005.) One year ago: The National Bureau of Economic Research officially declared the U.S. to be in a recession; the Dow Jones industrial average lost 679 points to end a five-day win streak. Thought for Today: "An educated man should know everything about something, and something about everything." - Dame C. V. Wedgwood, English historian (1910~1997). • Obama 5Ajghan policy a tough sell BY RICHARD LARDNER ASSOCIATED PRESS President Barack Obama i!'. preparing to announce a sweeping overhaul of the U.S. strategy in Afghanistan on today. including the addition of thousands more American forces, a clarification of ·the mission and a path toward disengagement. It will likely be one of the toughest sales jobs of his presidency. Democrats in Congress already are setting tough conditions - if not outright opposition to a deeper U.S. involvement - and the· American public is increasingly negative about the 8-year-old conflict that has become a serious drain on U.S. resources in a deeply troubled economic period. Casualties have increased sharply and are likely to grow more with the addition of more troops. Congressional uneasiness or opposition was voiced Sunday by the leading Senate Democrat on military matters.• who said any plan to significantly expand U.S. troop levels must show how those reinforcements will help increase the number of Afghan security forces. Meanwhile, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said Obama held an unannounced meeting with members of his war council on Afghanistan in the Oval Office Sunday night. The meeting included Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and National Security Adviser James Jones, Gibbs said, and the purpose was for the president to lay out his final decision on a new strategy for Afghanistan. The spokesman reported that Obama spoke by video conference with U.S. commander Gen. Stanley McChrystal and . Karl Eikenberry. ambassador to Afghanistan and said that he al o had contacted French President Nicolas Sarkozy and would be in touch later with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. Remarks by Sen. Carl Levin of Michigan, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, were a preview of the possible roadblocks as Obama begins to sell a broader, more expensive battle plan for Afghanistan to an American public weary of the conflict. Great~r numbers of Afghan army and poltce are central to succeeding in the war. according to Levin, and more U.S. trainers and an infusion of battlefield gear will help meet that goal. But Levin said that tt's not clear what role the tens of thousands of additional U.S. combat troops would play in. that buildup, and he said Obama has to make a compelling ·case for it during the nationally broadcast address he's scheduled to give Tuesday night from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y. ·'The key here is an Afghan surge, not an American surge," Levin said. "We cannot. by ourselves. win (the) war." Another facet of Obama's plan appears to be an expanded partnership with Pakistan as pm1 of U.S. pressure on that country's sh<!kY government to do more to root out extremists based along Pakistan's borders with Afghanistan. The Washington Post reported Monday that Obama had sent a letter to Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari saying the U.S. planned no early withdrawal from Afghanistan and will increase its military and economic cooperation with Pakistan. The Post. quoting uniuentified administration official::;, also said that Obama called for closer collaboration against five extremist groups. including . ~ named in the letter. The letter, delivered by national security adviser James Jones. report-· edly included a blunt warning that the U.S. would not tolerate support within Pakistan's military and intelligence operations of extremists fighting in Afghanistan. · At West Point, Obama was expected to announce an increase of up to 35.000 more U.S. forces to defeat the Taliban-led insurgency and stabilize a weak Afghan government. The escalation. which would take place over the next year. would put more than 100,000 American troops in Afghanistan at an annual cost of about $75 billion. Obama is also expected to outline an exit strategy for the war. Democrats concerned over the price tag have proposed a war tax to pay for operations. Rep. David 0-Wis .. chairman of the Ho Appropriations Committee, has introduced legislation to impose a war surtax beginning in 20 11. The bill would exempt service members and their families. "If this war is imponant enough to engage in the long term. it's important enough to pay for." Obey said. ' Lawmakers also want a greater' commitment from NATO allies so the U.S. isn't footing the bill on its own. , 'T ve got a real problem about expanding this war where the rest of the world is sitting around and saying. 'Isn't it a nice thing that the taxpayers of t}le United States and the V .S. military are doing the work that the rest of the world should be· doing?'" said Sen. Bernie Sanders. J-· Vt. McChrystal wants an overall· Afghan security force of 400.000 -: 240.000 soldiers and 160.000 police : officers - by October 2013. 0. ..· LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Letters to the editor should be limited to 300 words.
