1: The U.S. Marine Corps is pressing to remove its forces from Iraq and send Marines instead to Afghanistan to take the lead in combat there, The New York Times reported on Wednesday.
Supporters argue that a realignment could allow the U.S. Army and Marines each to operate more efficiently in sustaining troop levels for two wars that have strained their forces, the paper said, citing senior military and Pentagon officials who requested anonymity.The U.S. Marine Corps is pressing to remove its forces from Iraq and send Marines instead to Afghanistan to take the lead in combat there, The New York Times reported on Wednesday.

Opinion
I think it is dumb that the Marines want to move to Afghanistan they should just stay were they are whether they like it or not. I mean they were obviously put there for a reason and that should make them stay. The marines need to get over themselves and toughen up and handle the problems they have to deal with when they are in Iraq.

2: Eva Herman, who was sacked from her job as a German TV host last month following her controversial remarks about Nazi family values, once again found herself out in the cold Tuesday.
Herman appeared on German public broadcaster ZDF's "Johannes B. Kerner" talk show and was asked several times whether she regretted her comments in which she lauded family planning under the Nazis, whose reign of terror in Germany lasted from 1934 to 1945.

Opinion
That is wrong that the people got mad at her and put her out of her ob because of the things she talked about. They need to know that it is wrong that women only get to do the housework and not make their own income. I think that women should work if they want to and if they don't have to then they don't have to. People all have different opinions on things and everybody needs to understand that.
