Syria uses helicopters to battle rebels BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian gov- ernment forces attacked rebels with helicopter gunships in the heart of Damascus on Tuesday, escalating a campaign to crush their opponents as clashes spread to new areas, illustrating the rebels' growing reach.

Romney says Obama wants Americans to be 'ashamed of success' IRWIN, Pa. (AP) — A fiery Mitt Romney on Tuesday accused President Barack Obama of believ- ing the government is more vital to a thriving economy than the nation's workers and dreamers, scrambling to get back on message by declaring of Obama, ''I'm con- vinced he wants Americans to be ashamed of success.'' The new Romney approach came as Democrats pressed for the release of more of Romney's tax returns and hounded the Republi- can candidate over discrepancies in when he left his private equity firm. The conservative magazine National Review urged Romney to release more of his tax records. Obama has been trying to keep Romney focused on matters other than the sluggish economy, even releasing a single-shot TV ad Tuesday that suggests Romney gamed the system so well that he may not have paid any taxes at all for years. at Andrews Air Force Base out- side Washington early Tuesday morning, the former first lady completed an epic 13-day journey of 27,000 miles — about 2,000 miles more than the circumfer- ence of the Earth — through and over Europe to Asia and then dou- bling back to the Middle East.

At first, he thought a toothpick meant to hold the sandwich together had punctured the roof of his mouth. When he pulled it out, ''it was a straight needle, about one inch long, with sharp points on both ends.'' Now U.S. and European authorities are trying to determine how the needles got into meals served on at least four Delta flights from Amsterdam to the U.S. and why anyone would place them there. ''We are keeping all options open because at this moment, we have no idea why somebody or something put needles inside the sandwiches,'' said Robert van Kapel, a spokesman for Amster- dam's Schiphol airport. Bernanke: US economy LONDON (AP) — London Games officials dismissed con- cerns Tuesday over a lost bus dri- ver, a scramble for more security guards and some rain-soaked venues — embarrassments that had one tabloid newspaper head- line using the Olympic rings to spell out the word ''OOPS!'' Organizers said some of the complaints were exaggerated and tried to put the best face on the unfolding security debacle, as well as other concerns about the games, which start in 10 days. ''Let's put this in proportion,'' London Olympics head Sebastian Coe told reporters. ''This has not, nor will it, impact on the safety and security of these games. That, of course, is our No. 1 priority.''

The president, making a point about the supportive role govern- ment plays in building the nation, said in part: ''Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you've got a business, you didn't build that. Somebody else made that hap- pen.'' As the campaign's tenor grew Obama later added: ''The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together.''

The move, just two months after Kadima joined the coalition, appeared to push the country clos- er to early elections, a scenario that would paralyze Mideast diplomacy for months. Even if Netanyahu manages to hold the truncated coalition together, the sudden crisis has broader implications for Mideast peace, leaving him in charge of a narrow parliamentary majority dominated by religious and nationalist hard-liners who oppose concessions to the Palestinians. Kadima leader Shaul Mofaz brought the party into the coalition to work with Netanyahu on end- ing a contentious, decades-old system that has granted draft exemptions to tens of thousands of ultra-Orthodox Jewish seminary students. But with a court-ordered Aug. 1 deadline to revise the law, the sides were unable to forge a compromise. ''We made a real effort to push The moderate Kadima Party toward a new law that would change the balance of service,'' Mofaz, a former military chief of staff, told a news conference.
