pullout

Hamas has demanded a permanent cessation of hostilities in Gaza and a full pullout of Israeli troops.

Some larger towns like Houston are planning large celebrations, while it's often the smaller towns that need to cancel or scale back their plans, like Plano, Ill., citing sponsor pullouts and fear of political backlash.

With a majority of the county supervisors endorsing a pullout, some at City Hall are expressing fresh concerns about the looming breakup.

As a correspondent who followed the chaotic pullout closely, I never heard that the vice-president was in the room when decisions were taken in those final fateful weeks.

The couple also added a pullout sofa in the living room and RV hookups in the backyard, hoping to accommodate more friends and family.
