"The United States will pursue a new strategy to end the war in Iraq through a transition to full Iraqi responsibility…As we carry out this drawdown, my highest priority will be the safety and security of our troops and civilians in Iraq. So we will proceed carefully, and I will consult closely with my military commanders on the ground and with the Iraqi government. There will surely be difficult periods and tactical adjustments. But our enemies should be left with no doubt: This plan gives our military the forces and flexibility they need to support our Iraqi partners, and to succeed."
--President Barack Obama
Responsible Removal of Combat BrigadesBased on the recommendations of his military commanders and national security team, the President has chosen a timeline that will remove all U.S. combat brigades from Iraq over the next 18 months. By August 31, 2010, our combat mission in Iraq will end and Iraqi Security Forces will have full responsibility for major combat missions.
After August 31, 2010, the mission of United States forces in Iraq will fundamentally change. Our forces will have three tasks: train, equip, and advise the Iraqi Security Forces; conduct targeted counterterrorism operations; and provide force protection for military and civilian personnel.
The President intends to keep our commitment under the Status of Forces Agreement to remove all of our troops from Iraq by the end of 2011.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — A judge in Ohio has released a man who spent 25 years in prison after a new DNA test cleared him of raping a woman. Sixty-one-year-old Joseph Fears Jr. sobbed in a Columbus court Tuesday. He had been convicted of separate rapes in 1983. Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O'Brien said DNA testing on evidence found in the prosecutor's evidence room linked one of the rapes to a Michigan prisoner, who has since died. O'Brien also said underwear collected from the victim of the other rape contained no male DNA. That conviction stands for now, but O'Brien said Fears should be released based on the time he's served. Fears was one of 30 inmates profiled in a series last year by The Columbus Dispatch, which examined cases where applications for new DNA testing had been stalled. |

We suspect that every military has a secret room full of stoned dudes who stare at the ceiling and just dream up shit to build. The difference is they have billions of dollars to make their dreams reality. In support of our "secret room full of stoned dudes" theory, we offer the following actual military projects that stretch the limits of the non-stoned imagination. more |

 I recently joined a link exchange service to see how it worked, well this is what I came up with, you only get one link and that is in their database that's it, if you go look at other websites with the service the link to the page is hidden or put where no one will click on it, like the one directly at the bottom of this page (link removed) and the links are fed to the php page no links are actually on anyones website whatsoever, this is a scheme to get you to put a link to that service on your website.
After all that, it means that it does not help in raising your ranking you need genuine links on other websites to improve your overall rank. They stopped the service to my site, right after I posted this article. |
