Quotes of the day

The young men we remember today did not live to be called veterans. They died in a distant land fighting terror, spreading freedom, and protecting their fellow citizens from danger. The valor and selfless devotion of these men fills their families with immeasurable pride. Yet this pride cannot fill the hole in their loved ones' aching hearts, or relieve the burden of grief that will remain for a lifetime. In their sorrow, these families need to know, and families all across the nation of the fallen need to know that your loved ones served a cause that is good, and just, and noble. And as their Commander-in-Chief, I make you this promise: their sacrifice will not be in vain>

IRAQI LEADER SAYS BAGHDAD VIOLENCE DOWN
By BUSHRA JUHI, Associated Press Writer

BAGHDAD - The number of bombings and suicide attacks has dropped dramatically in the Iraqi capital, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said Sunday, claiming sectarian violence “is closed now.”

Meanwhile, a roadside bomb missed a U.S. convoy in eastern Baghdad, killing a 12-year-old girl and wounding four other Iraqis, police said.

Al-Maliki, a Shiite Muslim, told reporters that “terrorist acts” including car bombings and suicide attacks have dropped by 77 percent from last year’s high, a sign that Sunni-Shiite violence “is closed now.”
