'The debt subject to the statutory limit shot way past the old cap of $14.294 trillion to hit $14.532 trillion on Tuesday, according to the latest the Treasury Department figures, which are released on the next business day.
That increase puts the government already remarkably close to the new debt limit of $14.694, which means one day’s new borrowing ate up 60 percent of the $400 billion in space Congress granted the president this week.'

'Robert Hunt, US ambassador to NATO from 1993 to 1998, has blamed Britain for the Srebrenica genocide which resulted in the killing of 8000 Bosnian Muslims.

In the letter, Hunt said that the main reason why NATO failed to prevent the Serb slaughter in Bosnia was that Britain tried its best to ruin the Alliance's cooperative action. “The failure of NATO to reach agreement on serious military action can be attributed to the efforts of one allied nation: Great Britain,” wrote Hunt.'
