One of those wire stories you click on because the headline is so inscrutable. Here it is.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama says the death of Libya’s Moammar Gadhafi and the end of the Iraq war are powerful reminders of America’s renewed leadership in the world.
At the same time, Obama said Saturday that the U.S. now must tackle its “greatest challenge as a nation” — rebuilding a weak economy and creating jobs — with the “same urgency and unity that our troops brought to their fight.”
Obama informed the nation on Friday that the long and costly war in Iraq will be over by the end of the year and that some 40,000 U.S. servicemen and women still there “will definitely be home for the holidays.”
A day earlier, he hailed the killing of Libya’s longtime leader as a “momentous day” in the history of a country that Gadhafi had ruled for decades through tyranny. . . .
