Health bill divides Senate Democrats ? 21

Cost of increasing presence in Afghanistan debated ? 7

Iran holds large-scale war games in Tehran ? 6

Reports that Senate Democrats remain divided on the health care bill (largely due to reservations amongst the more moderate members) appeared in 21 newspapers this morning. The cost of increasing the US military presence in Afghanistan made the front pages of seven papers, while six publications ran stories on the large-scale war games that took place in Tehran over the weekend, which many think was intended as a display of Iran’s military strength to the international community.
