What I have my eye on this morning...

1. Today Pres. Obama addresses the U.N. General Assembly, stressing "international cooperation" and touching upon top issues ranging from climate change, to nuclear nonproliferation, to Middle East conflicts.
2. Thomas Friedman gives his take on U.S.-Iran relations -- talking of the "slight" chance at reaching agreement with Iran on its nuclear program through diplomatic means.
3. The Afghan fight -- Slate's Fred Kaplan gives his opinion on what the strategy in Afghanistan should focus on, how America is going to win not only against the Taliban, but win the trust and confidence of the Afghan people. 
4. In today's Washington Post, Steven Pearlstein weighs in on the state of the economy and suggests "a sustained recovery in 2010 isn't looking very likely". He writes of the struggle between creating "inflatable bubbles" vs. "sustainable economic growth".
5. White House Budget Director Peter Orszag suggests that a health care reform bill will very likely pass Congress within the next six weeks.
