Churchill Out, Martin Luther King In: First Glimpse At President Obama’s Revamped And Thoroughly Modern Oval Office — The Daily Mail

After18 months as President, Barack Obama has finally put his own stamp on The Oval Office.

And if the results are anything to go by, he is hoping for a golden era in the White House.

Americans got their first look at the revamp last night when the President addressed the nation about the end of the combat mission in Iraq.

My Comment: All that I can say is that if I had the money, I would build an exact replica of this room …. but I would keep the Churchill bust.

Gurkha Regiment Under Threat As MoD Spending Cuts Dig Deep — The Daily Mail

One of Britain’s most famous Army regiments could be sacrificed under drastic defence cuts.

Ministers risk being forced to take the axe to the Gurkhas in an attempt to save millions of pounds.

One military expert warned that the ‘writing was on the wall’ for the Nepalese soldiers, who have been part of the Army for nearly 200 years.
