Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama left Iraq and touched down in Amman, Jordan, today, emerging from an Osprey helicopter, carrying a helmet and body armor, and began the second phase of his international trip. He and his traveling companions, Senators Chuck Hagel and Jack Reed, were expected to offer an assessment of their trip to Iraq and Afghanistan at a news conference at the historic Citadel overlooking this city. It will be followed by a one-on-one session between Obama and Jordan's King Abdullah II, who interrupted a U.S. visit to fly back through the night...

So far it looks as if the trend will continue in July. On the 6th Taliban forces raided an outpost in Eastern Afghanistan, killing 9 US soldiers in the greatest single loss of American soldiers...
...Budweiser is made by a different country, I don't drink Budweiser anymore. I'll go back to Wild Turkey.' JORDAN MOORE, 21-year-old resident of St. Louis, Mo., on the $52 billion sale of iconic American brewery Anheuser-Busch to InBev NV of Belgium. Wild Turkey is owned by French company Pernod Ricard...
