Hatton In Best Shape Of His Life

The Manchester-based slugger Ricky Hatton declares that he will defeat Manny Pacquiao in their megafight on May 2.

After tapering his UK training, Hatton left for Las Vegas to resume his training, boasting that he is in best shape of his life.

"I've still got five weeks to go and at a push I could be ready in a couple of weeks, so I have to be careful not to overdo it now. But I've got a fair few fights under my belt now and I've got a bit of experience so I can't see that happening, and I'm in perfect shape for training camp," according to Hatton.

Hatton (45-1, 32 KOs) suffered his only defeat at the hands of Floyd Mayweather, declares that he will not be defeated on 140 lbs division.

"It's a tough fight, he's a southpaw, he's very, very quick, he's a decent puncher, but this is my division," Hatton said.

Watch Vampire Diaries Cast

Last month, I blogged about how will CW Network Vampire Diaries Series which was written by L.J. Smith will captivate the hearts of the vampire story fanatics around the world. Now the Vampire Diaries main cast was released and to my delight the line up was indeed promising.

Ian Somerhalder who played Boone in Lost was cast as Damon, the malevolence vampire while Paul Wesley was assigned the role of Stefan, a 200-year-old younger brother and the good vampire. Meanwhile Nina Dobrev, the gorgeous Bulgarian born actress who presently resides in Canada will play the role Elena. The two vampire brothers will fight to win her heart.

I can't wait to Watch Vampire Diaries Live Streaming series because of its of its appealing cast and storyline, I am absolutely sure this will be a hit. I really think Ian Somerhalder is drop dead gorgeous and has the most stunning eyes and Paul Wesley is not so bad either.

Proclamation 430 declares March 18, 2009 as Special Non-working Holiday

March 18, 2009 has been declared a non-working special holiday in the islands of Panay and Romblon including the cities of Iloilo and Roxas in line with the commemoration of the 64th anniversary of the Liberation of Panay and Romblon.

The celebration will be observed at the Balantang Memorial Cemetery National Shrine in Jaro, Iloilo City. It is the only military cemetery established outside Metro Manila and the venue of the bloodiest battle of the guerilla forces against the Japanese Imperial forces.

The patriotism and gallantry of Filipino soldiers who teamed up with the Allied Forces during the Second World War liberated Panay and Romblon islands on March 18, 1945.

The holiday declaration is stipulated in former President Corazon Aquino's Proclamation No. 430 or "An Act Declaring March 18 of every year as Victory Day in the Islands of Panay and Romblon including the cities of Iloilo and Roxas" issued in 1989.

"March 18, 1945 is of great historical and sentimental significance to both the veterans and the people of Panay and Romblon because it was the day when the Panay Guerilla Forces launched the final assault on the Japanese Imperial Armed Forces," said part of the proclamation.

A Panay Liberation Marker was also built in Tigbauan, Iloilo to memorialize the 1945 event. This is a press release from Philippine Information Agency last March 11, 2009.

Pacquiao Vs Mayweather


After Pacquiao annihilated Golden boy in there fight, pacman is set to face the british slugger Ricky Hatton to what boxing fans expected to be spectacular a fight.

If Pacman win this fight, the most credible fighter he can only be match with will be Floyd Mayweather.

Mayweather has retired, but this fight might be able to bring this man out of retirement for possibly one last go at it.

It has proven over the years that most great athlete cannot resist the call of the sport. Even Michael Jordan (Basketball) returned and won another championship for his team.

Pacman has already stated before that he is willing to face mayweather, the only thing that we are waiting on is the nod from the former pound-per-pound king.

A matchup of this magnitude is what the boxing world needs right now. There is no way that a match of this caliber will be ignored by the general public. In fact this could be one of the greatest boxing event of all time.

MANNY “PACMAN” PACQUIAO: 1 Pound-For-Pound Fighter for 2009

MANNY “PACMAN” PACQUIAO is still boxing's No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter for 2009. The spectacular boxer was favoured over Juan Manuel Marquez who is said to be his close rival for this prestigious title.

Dan Rafael, a boxing residence of ESPN.com recognized Pacquiao’s ability to not only showcase a good fights but stirs up the attention and the excitement of the fans every time he is to face an opponent.

“When the Pacman fights, the boxing world watches. He's one of the sport's biggest stars, he fights top-notch opponents, and every time he gets into the ring it's entertaining as hell,” Rafael wrote.

I always believe that Manny deserved this title because of his clean fighting style, and his audacity in fighting high caliber opponents from around the world.
Here are the top complete pound for pound boxing rankings from Sports Illustrated.

1. Manny Pacquiao (48-3-2)

Pacquiao has been dazzling at whatever weight class he chooses to fight. On May 2, the Pac-Man gets an opportunity to rule the junior welterweight division when he takes on 140-pound kingRicky Hatton. A win over Hatton all but guarantees a shot at former pound-for-pound champ Floyd Mayweather Jr., who many feel is lurking in anticipation of a Pacquiao victory.

2. Juan Manuel Marquez (50-4-1)

Marquez's power seems to increase with his weight. He ended his first two fights at lightweight with spectacular knockouts and has clearly established himself as the world's dominant 135-pounder. A fight with another lightweight contender likeNate Campbell could be a prelude to an eventual showdown with Hatton at 140.

3. Shane Mosley (46-5)

The 37-year-old Mosley looked 10 years younger in dismantling Antonio Margarito in January. Forget titleholder Andre Berto -- the world wants to see a rematch between Mosley and Miguel Cotto to determine the true welterweight champion.

4. Bernard Hopkins (48-5-1)

Who will the ageless Hopkins fight next? Chad Dawson is a logical opponent if Hopkins stays at light heavyweight, but B-Hop has expressed an interest in fighting cruiserweight champTomasz Adamek. Is fighting at 200 pounds biting off more than he can chew?

5. Chad Dawson (27-0)

Dawson's May 9 rematch with Antonio Tarver is a waste of everyone's time; Tarver was outclassed the first time, he will be outclassed again this time. The real fight for Dawson, if he can somehow raise his profile enough to make himself appealing enough, is against Hopkins.

6. Israel Vazquez (43-4)

Vazquez, who has been sidelined for more than a year following retina surgery, says he wants to return to the ring this summer, and he may do it at featherweight. That's only a good idea ifRafael Marquez moves up to 126 pounds with him. Vazquez will need a tune-up fight before any major showdown, but when he is ready, it should be a fourth fight with Marquez.

7. Kelly Pavlik (35-1)

Memo to HBO and Showtime: one of you needs to step up and make Pavlik-Arthur Abraham happen. If that means enticing Abraham to come Stateside this summer for a look-at-me fight with a fringe contender, so be it. Make it happen. The world needs to see a fight between the two most explosive middleweights in boxing.

8. Miguel Cotto (33-1)

Cotto rebounded nicely from last summer's savage beating at the hands of Antonio Margarito with an equally savage victory over Michael Jennings. Word is that Cotto will fight granite-chinned fellow titleholder Joshua Clottey in June in New York. That's a good fight for Cotto, who will probably have to box for 12 rounds to defeat Clottey.

9. Paul Williams (36-1)

I keep hearing how Williams isn't exciting enough or a big enough name to warrant a fight with any of the welterweight, junior welterweight or middleweight contenders. Huh? Has anyone actually been watching Williams the past two years? He has ricocheted in and out of three different weight classes and has been winning in staggeringly impressive fashion. If he can be equally as impressive againstWinky Wright next month, Williams will have earned a shot at either Mosley or Pavlik.

10. Vic Darchinyan (32-1-1)

First, Darchinyan beats (and shuts up) Cristian Mijares. Then he goes out and dismantles Jorge Arce after telling everyone he was going to do just that. My kind of fighter. Rumor has it that Darchinyan is looking to move up to bantamweight to fight eitherAnselmo Moreno or Joseph Agbeko.

Reactions to Obama Stem Cell Policy

“There are always two sides of the coin.”

This is probably the most insightful quote to remember when it comes to the debate of embryonic stem cell research. There are over six million people in this world and every individual of this number has the right to comment, to argue and to understand what’s beneath the issue.

To some religion sectors, they might say embryonic stem cell can be synonymous to murder and if this embryonic stem cell research is approved, there is probably an increase in abortion. Teenage pregnancies will probably just be everywhere. The law might only allow the teenage girls to have sex with anyone they like and if in any case they get pregnant, they can have the option to donate the embryo to laboratories.

To some arguments, they say embryos are not in same grounds with human life. Abortions are now legal in several jurisdictions and there might be a stronger logic behind if these embryos, instead of throwing them away, are used for stem cell treatment and can help thousands of people suffering from diabetes, muscular dystrophy and Alzheimer’s disease.

On the other hand, US Researchers at the University of Miami Stem Cell Institute responded positively to this Obama Executive Order. They welcome Obama Stem-Cell Decision and are positive that this will speed up research using embryonic stem cells.

To those entrepreneurs, they might view this argument as a source of income. When time comes that this law is virally accepted by everyone in the world, these marketers might only devise their system of advertisement that persuades people to donate their embryo just to cure wider range of diseases. Expect squeeze pages about “how to earn money through embryo stem cell” is all around the search engines front page.


For these possible ideas that might happen due to this controversy, there must be a thick line that must separate science and personal wants. Religion and science are in conflict from the start and this conflict serves as the balance of good and evil. These days, it’s mainly up to them how these arguments roll for their own benefits and not against them. In fact, there’s always a shade of good and evil in every decision one has to make.

In countries such as Greece, Finland, Netherlands, United Kingdom and Sweden where embryonic stem cell lines are allowed, their government should provide a law abhorring cloning. Cloning is unacceptable; it does only lose someone’s own identity. For the benefit of all people of all ages and of all races, Embryo Stem Cell should only be used to treat human deadly diseases and not beyond the imagination can think of. Abortion should only be practiced if pregnancy brings complications to woman.

When President Obama signed the order to federal funding of stem cell research, several sectors feel he might be also in doubts. What he did is a gamble. Every American can take advantage of its benefits. Yet, what’s inside Obama’s mind is strongly focus on helping thousands of people rather than enumerating the possible consequences of his decisions.

Truth is; there can be various laws that can be approved in the future to stop the consequences brought by embryonic stem cell research. There can be lots of ways to stop cloning and abortion. This research may be in good hands and co-director of Harvard Stem Cell Institute agrees with the Obama.

"I think patients everywhere will be cheering us on, imploring us to work faster, harder and with all of our ability to find new treatments.” Doug Melton said.

Melton is a father of two children diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. By and large, giving out those statements above sounded like a yard of veracity and determination. Every mistake made is a single centavo spent upon the completion of this experiment.

Like what Obama implied in his speech, no one knows what and how the future unfolds for embryonic stem cell further research. However, one must only learn how to trust those minds behind these incredible breakthroughs. Whether it’s positive or negative, trusting these people might only yield to good benefits to humanity and if not properly controlled, can also result to great disaster.

"I am so excited for Melissa," Jason reveals exclusively to "Extra," adding, "I know she has danced her whole life and she must be excited for the opportunity. I hope and think she will win it all."

I'll be posting Melissa Rycroft in Dancing with the Stars Live Streaming Video in this blog so be sure to check this out if you can't watch it on television.

Obama Stem Cell Research Policy

US President Barack Obama has lifted Lift Stem Cell Restrictions and has signed an executive order ending an 8½-year ban on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research. Reversing Bush policy cleared the way for a significant increase in federal dollars for embryonic stem cell research and promised no scientific data will be "distorted or concealed to serve a political agenda."

"Our government has forced what I believe is a false choice between sound science and moral values.”

This was one of the juicy statements addressed by President Barack Obama in his speech in front of his supporters as he was about to sign the order on the continuance of federal funding on embryonic stem cell research on Monday, March 8, 2009.

In his speech, Obama ensured the existence of scientific data should not be twisted to serve political agendas. To him, awarding funds to stem cell research is synonymous to putting an end to deadly diseases such as leukemia, spinal cord injury and Parkinson’s disease.

What is Stem Cell?

For those people who remain to be doubtful what truly a stem cell is, it’s simply defined as a cell that has the ability to generate new tissues over a period of time. According to Wikipedia, there are three types of stem cells beneficial to human treatment. These are embryonic, fetal and adult stem cells.

The type of cells deriving from epiblast tissue of an earlier stage of protein-rich embryos is called embryonic stem cells. These cells are reportedly pluripotent (biological compounds which have more than one potential outcome) and has three germ layers namely ectoderm, endoderm and mesoderm. More than two hundred cells can developed inside an adult body if only these embryonic stem cells are given sufficient functional activity.

Fetal stem cells refer to as primitive types of cells seen in several organs of a fetus. These days, the real purpose of fetal stem cell to treatment remains obscure.

The last type of stem cell is adult stem cell. These types are reportedly rare and in small numbers but has the special ability to self-renew differentiated cell itself. For many years now, the use of adult stem cells has been in assurance to treat leukemia and tendon-ligament injury in horses. The therapy involving adult stem cells is not controversial compared to embryonic stem cells.

Bush Out-of-Touch Decisions

Until now, there’s a huge debate behind stem cell research. Back in 2001, Former President George W. Bush, Jr. signed an order not supporting the funding research of embryonic stem cells. This was the first bill the Congress has passed which Bush refused to approve.

"This bill would support the taking of innocent human life of the hope of finding medical benefits for others," Bush commented.

Due to this event, scientists were disappointed and angered Bush’s administration. In fact, Nashville’s associate vice-chancellor in Vanderbilt University, Jeffrey Balser, said; "It makes no sense to say that you're in favor of finding cures for terrible diseases as quickly as possible and then block a bill that would authorize funding for promising and ethical stem cell research.”

Two Sides of Obama’s Overturns

Eight years later, President Obama finally decided to reverse Bush policy by agreeing to further research on embryonic stem cell existing lines. His action garnered several praises and criticisms from several grounds. Reports reveal that House Minority Leader John Boehner commented,

"The president has rolled back important protections for innocent life, further dividing our nation at a time when we need greater unity to tackle the challenges before us.”

In contrast with Former First Lady Nancy Reagan who was in bliss upon knowing Obama’s decisions. His husband and former President, Ronald Reagan died of Alzheimer’s disease in 2004.

"These new rules will now make it possible for scientists to move forward. Countless people, suffering from many different diseases, stand to benefit from the answers stem cell research can provide. We owe it to ourselves and to our children to do everything in our power to find cures for these diseases -- and soon."

Top April Fools Day Hoaxes and Pranks

Top April Fools Day Hoaxes #1: The Swiss Spaghetti Harvest
spaghetti harvest In 1957 the respected BBC news show Panorama announced that thanks to a very mild winter and the virtual elimination of the dreaded spaghetti weevil, Swiss farmers were enjoying a bumper spaghetti crop. It accompanied this announcement with footage of Swiss peasants pulling strands of spaghetti down from trees. Huge numbers of viewers were taken in. Many called the BBC wanting to know how they could grow their own spaghetti tree. To this the BBC diplomatically replied that they should "place a sprig of spaghetti in a tin of tomato sauce and hope for the best."

Top April Fools Day Hoaxes #2: Sidd Finch
Sidd Finch In its April 1985 edition, Sports Illustrated published a story about a new rookie pitcher who planned to play for the Mets. His name was Sidd Finch, and he could reportedly throw a baseball at 168 mph with pinpoint accuracy. This was 65 mph faster than the previous record. Surprisingly, Sidd Finch had never even played the game before. Instead, he had mastered the "art of the pitch" in a Tibetan monastery under the guidance of the "great poet-saint Lama Milaraspa." Mets fans celebrated their teams' amazing luck at having found such a gifted player, and Sports Illustrated was flooded with requests for more information. But in reality this legendary player only existed in the imagination of the author of the article, George Plimpton.

Top April Fools Day Hoaxes #3: Instant Color TV
image In 1962 there was only one tv channel in Sweden, and it broadcast in black and white. The station's technical expert, Kjell Stensson, appeared on the news to announce that, thanks to a new technology, viewers could convert their existing sets to display color reception. All they had to do was pull a nylon stocking over their tv screen. Stensson proceeded to demonstrate the process. Thousands of people were taken in. Regular color broadcasts only commenced in Sweden on April 1, 1970.

Top April Fools Day Hoaxes #4: The Taco Liberty Bell
Taco Liberty BellIn 1996 the Taco Bell Corporation announced that it had bought the Liberty Bell and was renaming it the Taco Liberty Bell. Hundreds of outraged citizens called the National Historic Park in Philadelphia where the bell was housed to express their anger. Their nerves were only calmed when Taco Bell revealed, a few hours later, that it was all a practical joke. The best line of the day came when White House press secretary Mike McCurry was asked about the sale. Thinking on his feet, he responded that the Lincoln Memorial had also been sold. It would now be known as the Ford Lincoln Mercury Memorial.

Top April Fools Day Hoaxes #5: San Serriffe
image In 1977 the British newspaper The Guardian published a special seven-page supplement devoted to San Serriffe, a small republic located in the Indian Ocean consisting of several semi-colon-shaped islands. A series of articles affectionately described the geography and culture of this obscure nation. Its two main islands were named Upper Caisse and Lower Caisse. Its capital was Bodoni, and its leader was General Pica. The Guardian's phones rang all day as readers sought more information about the idyllic holiday spot. Few noticed that everything about the island was named after printer's terminology. The success of this hoax is widely credited with launching the enthusiasm for April Foolery that gripped the British tabloids in subsequent decades.

Top April Fools Day Hoaxes #6: Nixon for President
In 1992 National Public Radio's Talk of the Nation program announced that Richard Nixon, in a surprise move, was running for President again. His new campaign slogan was, "I didn't do anything wrong, and I won't do it again." Accompanying this announcement were audio clips of Nixon delivering his candidacy speech. Listeners responded viscerally to the announcement, flooding the show with calls expressing shock and outrage. Only during the second half of the show did the host John Hockenberry reveal that the announcement was a practical joke. Nixon's voice was impersonated by comedian Rich Little.

Top April Fools Day Hoaxes #7: Alabama Changes the Value of Pi
The April 1998 issue of the New Mexicans for Science and Reason newsletter contained an article claiming that the Alabama state legislature had voted to change the value of the mathematical constant pi from 3.14159 to the 'Biblical value' of 3.0. Before long the article had made its way onto the internet, and then it rapidly made its way around the world, forwarded by people in their email. It only became apparent how far the article had spread when the Alabama legislature began receiving hundreds of calls from people protesting the legislation. The original article, which was intended as a parody of legislative attempts to circumscribe the teaching of evolution, was written by a physicist named Mark Boslough.

Top April Fools Day Hoaxes #8: The Left-Handed Whopper
In 1998 Burger King published a full page advertisement in USA Today announcing the introduction of a new item to their menu: a "Left-Handed Whopper" specially designed for the 32 million left-handed Americans. According to the advertisement, the new whopper included the same ingredients as the original Whopper (lettuce, tomato, hamburger patty, etc.), but all the condiments were rotated 180 degrees for the benefit of their left-handed customers. The following day Burger King issued a follow-up release revealing that although the Left-Handed Whopper was a hoax, thousands of customers had gone into restaurants to request the new sandwich. Simultaneously, according to the press release, "many others requested their own 'right handed' version."

Top April Fools Day Hoaxes #9: Hotheaded Naked Ice Borers
Hotheaded Naked Ice BorerIn its April 1995 issue Discover Magazine announced that the highly respected wildlife biologist Dr. Aprile Pazzo had discovered a new species in Antarctica: the hotheaded naked ice borer. These fascinating creatures had bony plates on their heads that, fed by numerous blood vessels, could become burning hot, allowing the animals to bore through ice at high speeds. They used this ability to hunt penguins, melting the ice beneath the penguins and causing them to sink downwards into the resulting slush where the hotheads consumed them. After much research, Dr. Pazzo theorized that the hotheads might have been responsible for the mysterious disappearance of noted Antarctic explorer Philippe Poisson in 1837. "To the ice borers, he would have looked like a penguin," the article quoted her as saying. Discover received more mail in response to this article than they had received for any other article in their history.

Top April Fools Day Hoaxes #10: Planetary Alignment Decreases Gravity
In 1976 the British astronomer Patrick Moore announced on BBC Radio 2 that at 9:47 AM a once-in-a-lifetime astronomical event was going to occur that listeners could experience in their very own homes. The planet Pluto would pass behind Jupiter, temporarily causing a gravitational alignment that would counteract and lessen the Earth's own gravity. Moore told his listeners that if they jumped in the air at the exact moment that this planetary alignment occurred, they would experience a strange floating sensation. When 9:47 AM arrived, BBC2 began to receive hundreds of phone calls from listeners claiming to have felt the sensation. One woman even reported that she and her eleven friends had risen from their chairs and floated around the room.

Watch The Bachelor Episode 13 Recap Live Streaming

As a follow up to the 2 hour Season Finale of The Bachelor Season 13, an “After The Final Rose” special was aired to accommodate some big revelations that are about to unfold.

At the season finale of Bachelor 13, Jason Mesnick ended up choosing Melissa Rycroft and made his proposal, claiming that it was her that the kind of woman he has been waiting all his life. But since the show ended, the so called chemistry between them has changed. And goes to say that he has been thinking about Molly Malaney and that he is still in love with her but stated he wasn't able to talk to her ever since the show ended.

What culminated thereafter was a big heartbreak for a certain poor soul. Because Jason was planning to break up with Melissa live on national TV and not to mention the availability of Bachelor Episode 13 Recap Live Streaming for everyone to watch. Jason proceed initiate the breakup, saying that after spending time with Melissa, he realizes that she's not the right woman for her. And to add insult to the injury, he admits that he's still in love with Molly. Melissa, obviously tying to suppress her emotion, questioned why did Jason proposed to her in the first place and she returns the ring. Jason tried to apologized but Melissa told him to stay out of her life. As she boards the limo, she started to breakdown. So there you go, the higlight for season 13, The Bachelor dumps his fiancee for a runner-up.

Meanwhile after the break, Molly was welcomed back on stage, Chris Harrison, host of said show, made her watch scenes from her elimination which was difficult for her. Moments later Jason joins her on stage. And right after that he told Molly that he broke up with Melissa earlier, and that it is Molly that he wants to be with. Molly was hardly confrontational and gives off vibes that she knew that this was going to happen, but asks Jason “What about Mellisa?” He told Molly it's all right and told her it is her that he's in love with and asks for a chance.

Jason and Molly talked privately for a short while, and after the commercial break Molly finally gave her answer.

Pacquiao vs Hatton Fight Results to a Draw

Boxing superstars Manny "Pac-Man" Pacquiao and Ricky "The Hitman" Hatton initial encounter indeed finished in a draw. Though not in the boxing arena, but in dart; a board game, which is actually a favorite pastime of the Britons.

Manny Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton came face to face in Londo. Hatton, a British professional boxer and the current Junior Welterweight Champion was in casual clothes. Pacquiao, a professional Filipino boxer and the #1 pound-for-pound boxer, on the other hand, looks more trim and dashing in his dark suit.

Although Hatton won the first regular 501 dart game, Pacquiao on the other hand, bounced back on the second game on a Manchester ball, an another form of dart game that was especially made popular by the Britons.

The friendly game was held in the historical New Inn Club, which was once owned by the Hatton family and is one of the oldest English pubs in Manchester. The dart game happened after the press conference at the Imperial War Museum in London. On the other hand, their May 2 superfight was dubbed as the “The Battle of East vs West” which was officially launched at the Trafford Centre in Manchester, where the promo tour was also held.

In the private party, only a few mediamen were invited just two hours after the public appearance by both fighters at the Trafford Centre.

Pacquiao flew 16 hours from Manila to Hong Kong and from Hong Kong to London last Friday. He was together with Bob Arum of Top Rank, his trainer Freddie Roach, his lawyer Franklin Gacal as well as a few friends. Together, they traveled by train from London. Pacquiao is staying at the Grosvenor House Hotel in Park Lane so they actually needed two hours so as to get to Manchester. Expectantly, a large crowd of Filipino fans appeared to show their support to the #1 pound-for-pound boxer. To date, Pacquiao was indeed recognized everywhere as said by Davies, who was a sports journalist since 1993.

According to promoters, the tickets for the upcoming fight, The East meets West - Manny Pacquiao vs Ricky Hatton on MGM Grand in Las Vegas on May 2 are already sold out, and the response that the two incredible fighters got at the Trafford Centre in Manchester was an extremely clear indication.

President Obama Plans to End Iraq War by August 2010

President Barack Obama announced last Friday that the US-Iraq war will finally be over by the end of August 2010. In fact, the declaration was courteously recognized by the US marines at a North Carolina military base.

According to Obama, by August 31, 2010, the combat mission in Iraq will finally come to an end and he is indeed laying out a new war strategy. Moreover, he also intend to withdraw the entire US troops from Iraq by the end of 2011.

Obama briefed Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki along with former US President George W. Bush via telephone in relation to the new plan, shortly before making his speech, according to the White House. And to tell the truth, he was also an early opponent of the Iraq war. The president also said that ending the unpopular war would mean a new era of US diplomacy in the Middle East, which he said will include "principled and sustained engagement" with syria and Iran.

On the other hand, the presidents formally declared the appointment of veteran diplomatic troubleshooter Christopher Hill, who is also the new ambassador to Iraq. And most recently, he is also the one in charge of talks on North Korea's nuclear program. The officials also made it clear that the president's priority is to have fewer troops in Iraq. In other words, more troops to fight the Taliban in Afghanistan.

President Obama held a closed-door White House meeting late Thursday, together with congressional leaders including McCain.
