There are reports saying the president is planning on a major troop drawdown in both Iraq and Afghanistan. It seems a warning order has been issued, reducing the footprint in each country to 2,500. That would be about half of the estimated 5,000 or so US troops in each country right now.


Hurricane Iota, the 30th named storm and 13th hurricane is bearing down on Central America. Its expected to make landfall on Nicaragua some time this evening as a category 4 storm, with sustained winds over 160 mph.
