Clinton attacks Obama for plagiarizing.

Senator Hillary Clinton questioned her rival Barack Obama's readiness to become commander-in-chief at last night's Democratic presidential debate in Texas. She criticized the Illinois senator for borrowing rhetoric for his campaign speeches and said he had a weak resume. Obama responded, calling her accusations "silly season" politics. Texas will hold its primary on March 4. Analysts say Clinton must win in that state in order to stay in the race.

But Clinton ended the debate much differently than she began. The emotional New York Senator made reference to her past political battles when her husband was in the White House. She said she had lived through some challenging moments in her life, but they're nothing compared to what goes on everyday in the lives of others across the country. Clinton added saying whatever happens, we're going to be fine.

Serb protestors who are enraged by Kosovo's independence attacked U.N. police in northern Kosovo today with stones, glass bottles and firecrackers. The police were guarding a key bridge in the divided city of Mitrovica (Mee-tro-veet-suh). This comes one day after demonstrators attacked the U.S. embassy in the capital of Belgrade. Protests have occurred ever since Kosovo's ethnic Albanian leaders declared independence from Serbia on Sunday. The U.S., Britain, France and Germany have formally recognized Kosovo.

A 28-mile virtual fence designed for the U.S.-Mexican border has been ok'd by the government. The fence will use radars and surveillance cameras to try to catch people entering the country illegally. The cameras are powerful enough to distinguish group sizes and see whether people are carrying backpacks that may contain weapons or drugs. Parts of the virtual fence have been constructed and are already working. More fences are expected to be built as early as this summer.
