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.

FILE ** President Theodore Roosevelt, is shown in an undated file photo. The Associated Press is asking 2008 presidential candidates a series of questions about their personal tastes, habits and backgrounds. When asked to name to name their favorite 20th century president from the opposing party, Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Rodham Clinton, John Edwards, Barack Obama, and Bill Richardson all chose President Theodore Roosevelt, the Republican who was the nation's 26th chief executive, 1901 to 1909.
** FILE * Theodore Roosevelt, is shown speaking when he stumped the country for William McKinley during the Presidential Campaign of 1900. Roosevelt was McKinley's running mate on the Republican ticket. Speaking loudly and carrying on like. It's a rare part of the 2008 presidential campaign rhetoric that crosses party lines.
