"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 Cheryl, Ashley officially divorced corner

British singer Cheryl Cole's marriage to soccer ace Ashley was officially declared dead Friday, when they were granted a divorce.

Cheryl separated in February after four years of marriage amid allegations Ashley cheated on her with a string of women, reports contactmusic.com.

She filed for divorce on the grounds of unreasonable behaviour and district judge Christopher Simmonds Friday granted the couple a decree nisi.

According to the report, neither party attended London's High Court Family Division and the order was passed in just over a minute.

They have been asked to wait for six weeks before a decree absolute is issued, officially ending their union.

The pair married in 2006 and has no children.
