Pwesident Pwuddles.
Christina was given to us on September 11th, 2001, one of 50 babies born that day to be pictured in a book called "Faces of Hope." On either side of her photo in that book were simple wishes for a child's life. "I hope you help those in need," read one. "I hope you know all of the words to the National Anthem and sing it with your hand over your heart. I hope you jump in rain puddles."The Infested and the Nameless.
If there are rain puddles in heaven, Christina is jumping in them today. And here on Earth, we place our hands over our hearts, and commit ourselves as Americans to forging a country that is forever worthy of her gentle, happy spirit.
May God bless and keep those we've lost in restful and eternal peace. May He love and watch over the survivors. And may He bless the United States of America.
Suspected U.S. unmanned aircraft fired four missiles at a house in a militant-infested area of northwestern Pakistan on Wednesday, killing at least four people, Pakistani intelligence officials said.
The U.S. has stepped up its use of drone strikes to target militants who use Pakistan's lawless tribal area as a base to launch attacks against foreign troops in Afghanistan.
Most of the strikes, including the one Wednesday, have occurred in North Waziristan, the main base for the Haqqani network, which U.S. officials have said poses the greatest danger to American troops in Afghanistan.
The identities and nationalities of those killed in Wednesday's strike were unknown, said the intelligence officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.
