"This historic moment comes at a time of great uncertainty for many Americans. We have now been through nearly a decade of war. We have endured a long and painful recession. And sometimes in the midst of these storms, the future that we are trying to build for our nation - a future of lasting peace and long-term prosperity - may seem beyond our reach"
Barack Obama
US President Obama was making a national address Tuesday to mark the end of the combat mission in Iraq

bullet Ryder Cup: Woods fails to clinch automatic US team spot corner

Golfing great Tiger Woods flopped in his bid to clinch an automatic place in the American team, and now may have to go cap in hand to skipper Corey Pavin to get a wild card entry for the Ryder Cup.

Woods needed a final-round flourish on Sunday to get back into reckoning, but wrapped up his week at Whistling Straits with another inconsistent round, this one, marred by poor driving.

Speaking to media later, he said that it would be back to practice for now and, later, he hopes to be the captain's pick for the Ryder Cup.

According to the Sun, Woods has not shot a sub-70 round since the first day of The Open at St Andrews last month and despite a birdie-birdie start he did not look like ending that dismal run.

At least he threw in a few more birdies - four on the front nine. That is three more than he managed over the same stretch throughout the previous three rounds at the USPGA Championship.

He also carded three bogeys and then crashed to a double bogey on the easy 10th to end any doubts over whether he would need a captain's pick for Celtic Manor in October.

Woods finished on a one-over 73 - his 11th consecutive round without ducking below 70 - to finish the tournament among the also-rans on two under overall. But he confirmed he would accept a Ryder Cup wild card.

He said: "I'd like to make the team but didn't manage it on points so I'll have to rely on Corey. It's whether he wants me.

"My game is heading in the right direction, so I feel I could help the team. Hopefully, Corey will see that, he added. (ANI)

The Milwaukee Sun is essentially a local Milwaukee newspaper, but with a national and international perspective, designed to provide readers with a one-stop shop for Milwaukee, national US, regional, and world news coverage, weather and sports information, with live updates on breaking business stories, and what's happening in the financial markets.

The biggest advantage we have is that we are an online newspaper, which means we are constantly refreshing our stories as more and more information comes to hand. Often when a story breaks the initial details are sketchy.

We and our sources around the world work hard to gather more information, verify facts, and provide a perspective of the major stories. Expert opinion often accompanies our articles to better inform readers, and provide a more complete understanding
of the news we deliver.

Financial markets and business reports are regular features as we pin down what's happening, and constantly refresh stock market indice readings, dollar currency rates, and breaking business news reports. Our world sports coverage is a priority, as is our regional news.

We like to think if you're looking for breaking news out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States, or the world, you'll look for it first at the Milwaukee Sun.
