Veterans Day. The day we have chosen to honor those who have served... and continue to serve our country. As we thank them for their service today, we should not forget that during the OTHER 364 days of the year... they remain on duty often risking their lives for us. As the politicians and the voters debate the purpose and direction of the Iraq war, the members of our armed forces continue to put their lives on the line.
The ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery today was the centerpiece of our nation's tribute to veterans. Still, the President's war policy seems to be at the heart of a new poll, which shows the President's approval ratings at its lowest point since his father was in office. NBC's Jeannie Ohm has that story.
From Iraq, more violence against Iraqis... and another attack against a symbol of America in Iraq. NBC's Tom Aspell is in Baghdad.
NBC's Chief Foreign Affair Correspondent Andrea Mitchell has the latest on how President Bush has turned to his father's advisors to help him set a new course in Iraq.
NBC's Mike Taibbi has a look at Veterans Day celebrations and the importance of saying "thanks."
Today at a special meeting of the U.N. Security Council, the U.S. vetoed a measure to condemn Israel's devastating attack on Palestinians this week. NBC's Martin Fletcher with a look at that story... all but lost this week in election coverage.
And why Americans aren't buying CD's anymore and what it means for the future of music.
It's all coming up tonight. We hope to see you then.

While I am not Rumsfield’s biggest fan, I think the problems in Iraq will persist. I still feel this was the right decision in the beginning, but mistakes were made and arrogance prevailed. Saddam would not reveal his WMD program. We had to put back bone into ultimatums to reveal what he did have. Also his mass murders were reason enough to go in, just like Bosnia and they were Muslims without oil.
Here are few other points that are not reported:
There are 5 million cell phone users in Iraq where before there were none under Saddam. Iraq has 33,000 new businesses. There is 25% female parliamentary representation, which is the highest in the Arab world. Iraq now has 4500 schools that have been rebuilt and stocked with 8 million textbooks. And there are 150 politically free TV stations and newspapers which can broadcast and print uncensored.
A) Saddam's general published in a book that he himself oversaw loading WMD missiles into aircraft fuselages and shipping them into Syria for hiding.
B) The "insurgents" are absolutely nothing of the sort. They are terrorists, flooding into Iraq from other countries, and sponsored by Syria and Iran. We know this for a fact, as we have their overtaken bodies and equipment.
C) These terrorists ("insurgents") have said in their own statements that the battle for control of Iraq is the decisive battle against the US and western civilization versus Islam, and their plan to destroy the sovereign democratic Jewish state of Israel. Again, this is not supposition; this is from their own direct statements. Why are Katie Couric and the MSM not repeating this nightly?
In these same statements, the terrorists have openly said that this battle is the test of the will of Americans, and that the battle is there because we are there and that *if we retreat, it is their sign of their righteousness and they will then bring the battle to us in the US mainland*.
Our men and women ocver there (and in Afghanistan) have served us well!
Thank you!
