| Obama: McCain will 'endanger' US |
| US Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama has warned that rival John McCain would "endanger" US security

| His running-mate, Joe Biden, said at the weekend that Mr Obama could face a "generated international crisis" within six months of becoming president.
Mr McCain, the Republican candidate, said Mr Biden's remarks proved Mr Obama would be a risky presidential choice.
Opinion polls indicate that Mr Obama is leading Mr McCain with less than two weeks to go before the 4 November election
A Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby poll released on Thursday gives Mr Obama a 12-point lead over Mr McCain, with 52% to his 40%.
An NBC/Wall Street Journal poll puts Mr Obama on 52%, 10 points ahead of Mr McCain, while a Gallup tracking poll has the Democrat ahead by eight points, with 52% to Mr McCain's 44%.
However, an AP-GfK poll released on Wednesday suggests a much narrower margin, putting Mr Obama only one point ahead, with 44% support to his rival's 43%.
Clear signal
Responding to attacks over Mr Biden's comment on the likelihood that he would be "tested" by an international crisis, Mr Obama said his running-mate "sometimes engages in rhetorical flourishes".
"His core point was, the next administration is going to be tested regardless of who it is," he told reporters.
"The question is: Will the next president meet that test by moving America in a new direction, by sending a clear signal to the rest of the world that we are no longer about bluster and unilateralism and ideology?"
