Will Santorum look Romney in the eyes and repeat that line Thursday night? Newt Gingrich told me in Iowa that he doesn’t think he could vote for Ron Paul if the Texas [...]

Washington (CNN) -- A Republican presidential debate on Tuesday focused on national security issues exposed deep fault lines within the GOP over how to grapple with the nation's challenges overseas. The eight Republican candidates who took to the CNN debate stage in downtown Washington differed on a range of issues confronting the United States, including the war in Afghanistan, aid to Pakistan and cuts in defense spending. The issue of illegal immigration also arose again as the newest Republican front-runner, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, called for a "humane" approach to immigration policy, a position at odds with many conservative activists who dominate key nominating contests in Iowa, South Carolina and Florida. Gingrich stressed the importance of securing the United States [...]

Egypt's Cabinet Resigns
The Supreme Council of the Armed Forces has accepted the resignation of Egypt's Cabinet, Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi said Tuesday. The resignations come as protesters fill Cairo's Tahrir Square for a fourth day to call for the downfall of the military-led government that took over after President Hosni Mubarak was forced to step down in February. Tantawi denied the military wants to stay in power and said protesters are trying to "drag us back into the past." He added the government is "trying hard to be tolerant." Twenty-nine protesters have died in the clashes since Saturday, said Hisham Sheeha, spokesman for Egypt's Health Ministry. About 1,785 people have been injured, he said.
