The key issue is to find ways to ship supplies and other critical equipment into Iraq.In a series of meetings Friday, Rice and Gates failed to turn around Moscow's opposition to the system and other strategic a
rms issues and got little more than a pledge to meet again.

The deaths put the total number of U.S. military personnel killed in the Iraq war at 3,827.Rice and Lavrov announced at a news conference after the meetings that the two sides would meet again in Washington in six months to review a "strategic framework" on evaluating and addressing the missile threat posed by countries the United States regards as rogue states, principally Iran.In a series of meetings Friday, Rice and Gates failed to turn around Moscow's opposition to the system and other strategic arms issues and got little more than a pledge to meet again.U.S. military planners quietly have stepped up a review of alternatives in case the Turkish government restricts U.S. access to Turkish airspace or cuts off access to the air base at Incirlik, Turkey, CNN has learned.U.S. Air Force planes prepare to take off in November 2001 from the air base at Incirlik, Turkey.The day got off to a rocky start when Putin kept Rice and Gates waiting for 40 minutes before meeting them and then began the session with a lengthy monologue detailing Russian complaints.The wounded troops were transported to a military medical facility for "emergency treatment and further evaluation," the military said, adding the incident is under investigation."We see two serious problems with these proposals," Lavrov told reporters at the news conference with Rice, Gates and Serdyukov.
