Iranian President Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad says he has
pardoned the 15 British
sailors and marines detained
last month and will set them
free. That's according to CNN.
Admadinejad made the
announcement at a news
conference where he honored
the border guards who captured
them. The President honored
three of those guards with
medals for bravery. In his
speech, he said Iran will
never allow trespassing of its
waters.
U.S. House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi met with Syria's
President today against the
wishes of the Bush
administration. There are no
details about what Pelosi and
President Bashar al-Assad
talked about. A Syrian
government official says it's
doubtful that a first meeting
of this type reached any
expected results. President
Bush says Pelosi's visit was
sending mixed messages to a
state sponsor of terror.
The U.S. Army is preparing for
a possible funding shortage.
That may happen if President
Bush vetoes an emergency war
spending bill that calls for
an eventual withdrawal of
troops from Iraq. But analysts
say the Pentagon will be the
first to face cuts. The Army
Budget Office is warning
program managers that the
standoff between Bush and
Congress over the bill is
doubtful to end before April.
The office says that means
current funds need to be
stretched to June.
A new study out says women who
eat red meat have an increased
risk of breast cancer. The
research studied women between
the ages of 35 and 69. It
found that females who
consumed as little as 2 ounces
of red beef, lamb or pork a
day were 56 percent more
likely to have breast cancer.
The researchers say factors
like weight, smoking, fruit
and vegetable intake and
hormone replacement therapy
were taken into account in the
findings.
That's all for now. Check out
our new special segment called
the 'Power of a pet,' a story
about four-legged friends who
play a special role in the
recovery of wounded soldiers.
