[Title] => Confusing Iraq situation
[Summary] => Frankly we are at a loss to understand the situation in Iraq. We were under the impression that President Bush had given Iraq up to March 17 to comply with the requirements of the United Nations Security Council concerning the concealment of illegal war weapons. But March 17 is over and nothing has happened. To add to the confusion, now President Bush says that he has given Saddam Husseim a deadline of two days to go into exile. This is a new demand and a new deadline.

[Title] => ‘Peso to recover after Iraq crisis’
[Summary] => As the peso continues to sink against the dollar, Malacañang remained optimistic that the foreign exchange rate will improve once the Middle East crisis eases.
"The biggest factor in the peso-dollar exchange rate, of course, is the war jitters," Presidential Spokesman Ignacio Bunye told a press briefing.
The peso plunged to 54.32 against the dollar last Monday, its lowest since President Arroyo took office in January 2001.
