BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

Clinton's endorsement of Obama in a speech at the National Building Museum marked the beginning of efforts to reunite the Democratic Party after a long and divisive campaign battle that ended on Tuesday when Obama won the support of enough delegates to clinch the nomination.

I think Obama's speech was just awesome ... I am finally able to vote this year and I am excited about it. I never was interested in any of the elections until now. He gives me hope about this country, I truly think if he wins the country will come together like it should.

Yeah, I mean, I think that's what McCain is going to do next week when he has the Republican Convention, so I think he did it in all fairness.

I thought it was heartfelt; I thought it was what America needed ... He touched every base and every issue; he addressed the country, and he made everyone feel as though he'll be the next president of the United States, and it was just heartfelt and I'm glad he did it.
