We're not sure how Rendell's "rescue mission" will open the door for "orphans" except to encourage other bigwigs to call in markers from their Beltway cronies. Outside of harvesting a lot of opportunistic publicity, Rendell's trip-- and other relief-delaying actions during the military takeover of Haiti --has pissed off aid groups that were denied landing and diverted to The Dominican Republic while Rendell sat on the tarmac.

Future American generations will not be able to call in markers for the nice things their ancestors did for the world when the United States was at the height of power.

Democrats have started pressuring the White House to push [Pakistani PM] Musharraf harder, and it seems to have had an effect. Of course, the Bush administration has made more of an effort of late to call in markers. First, they told [Iranian PM] Nouri al-Maliki in no uncertain terms that he had to quit protecting the militias.

Calling in a marker means calling someone who owes you a favor. A "marker" is the term used for the slip of paper people got when they bet the numbers, an old illegal gambling game.

recurrir a símbolos
I believe in this context:
1)markers: símbolos
2)call in: recurrir
Otras opciones: referirse a /citar hitos/hechos claves,

pedir la devolución de los favores recibidos/concedidos
Esta entidad no tiene problemas de solvencia. Al menos aparentemente. Y si los tuviera ya se encargaría su presidente, que también es presidente de la Comunidad Foral, Miguel Sanz, de pedir la devolución de los favores políticos que ha prestado a Madrid http://www.diariocriticocv.com/noticias/cajas/banco/de/espan...
