AP NAMPHO, North Korea - North Korea is reporting a serious drought that could worsen already critical food shortages, but help is unlikely to come from the United States and South Korea following Pyongyang s widely criticized rocket launch.North Korea has had little rain since April 27, with the country s western coastal areas particularly hard hit, according to a government weather agency in Pyongyang.

We are ending the nation s longest war, the president said in remarks at the White House Thursday.At the time he announced the September deadline, about 3,500 troops remained. Earlier this week, the Pentagon said that the withdrawal was 90% complete. It proceeded quickly for a reason. Our military commanders advised me that once I made the decision to end the war, we needed to move swiftly to conduct the main elements of the drawdown, and in this context, speed is safety, the president said. A different approach would have certainly come with an increased risk of safety to our personnel, and he noted that so far, no U.S. military personnel have been lost in the process.U.S. fo

We ve not been able to detect the emergence of anyone you could call a reformer. For now, he added, potential reformers have been lying low, awaiting a more favorable climate to make their move, according to CBS News Charlie Wolfson.
