| "This historic moment comes at a time of great uncertainty for many Americans. We have now been through nearly a decade of war. We have endured a long and painful recession. And sometimes in the midst of these storms, the future that we are trying to build for our nation - a future of lasting peace and long-term prosperity - may seem beyond our reach" |

| US President Obama was making a national address Tuesday to mark the end of the combat mission in Iraq |

Fabio Capello flummoxed by 'God and monster' conundrum following WC debacle
|
|
England manager Fabio Capello has admitted that before the World Cup in South Africa, he was seen as a God, but following his team's disastrous performance in the tournament, he is now being regarded a monster.
"You create the God and you create the monster, no? This is my team. We lost one game in the World Cup, against Germany, after one big mistake from the ref. No one remembers this," The Sun quoted Capello, as saying.
"But, after that, opinion about me changed completely. Still, it's no problem for me. I can live with it. It is part of a manager's job. When you win, you're the best. When you lose, you're the worst."
"We have to play without fear. The players have trained with a lot of confidence and we have to see that against Bulgaria," he added.
The England team will take on Bulgaria in their opening Euro 2012 qualifier tonight.
The Italian further said that he was pleased with the reaction of the fans during last month's friendly against Hungary.
"I was a little concerned in the last game but, after 10 minutes, the fans stopped booing and supported us," Capello said.
"We owe them. The supporters of England are fantastic, the best in the world," he added. (ANI) |

We work strenuously to bring our readers a completely independent perspective of London news. Our software programmers, editors, journalists and affiliated wire services are all dedicated to producing the best journalism possible.
This in a world where conflicts of interest pervade business empires, and political dynasties, and where a shrinking number of media proprietors are growing their interests at the expensive of diversity of media ownership. The London Mercury is an independent online newspaper. Our focus primarily is to produce the latest breaking stories out of London.
We also cover the nation. Regional news too is a priority, as is our extensive world news coverage. For a London weather report, local news, breaking international headlines, or what's happening in sports, the London Mercury is for you.
Our Business Centre too is active 24 hours a day, bringing you the latest market updates from key global centres like Tokyo, Sydney, London, Paris, Berlin, and New York. Foreign exchange rates are a regular feature, and we provides a vast range of general interest news covering topics like business travel, seniors, womens interest, and lifestyle stories. |
