Airline delays set record in 2006

Airline delays increased sharply last year to record highs because of a
rash of bad weather starting in the fall that shut airports and stranded
thousands of passengers.

No compromise seen on Iraq resolution
---------------------------------------------
The leader of a bipartisan effort to rebuke President Bush's Iraq
strategy
said Thursday he would not strike a compromise with a harsher
Democratic

said he
won't negotiate with Democrats to develop a single proposal on Iraq.
