US brigade in Iraq likely heading to Kuwait (AP)

WASHINGTON ? Senior U.S. officials say the Pentagon is poised to move at least 4,000 U.S. forces from Iraq to Kuwait at the end of the year.

The 1st Brigade of the 1st Cavalry Division would move within weeks as part of a still-developing Pentagon strategy that ends the Iraq war but positions a strong U.S. force just across the border.

U.S. officials say the idea is to reinforce America's military commitment in the Middle East and prevent a power vacuum when the tens of thousands of U.S. forces who have served in Iraq are gone.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because Defense Secretary Leon Panetta hasn't given final approval.

All but a handful of U.S. forces will leave Iraq by Dec. 31 under terms of a deal with Baghdad.

HTC Rezound ad pays Verizon stores an early visit, soonish launch likely

The above image isn't a leak -- it's a dye-in-the-wool, true-blue LTE poster that a few Verizon stores have preemptively hung up. We're pretty sure these adverts aren't supposed to be displayed for our eyes to see since they feature the HTC Rezound, a forthcoming 4G device that hasn't even been announced yet. Oops. Additionally, the handset -- featured front and center on the ad -- shows off a pair of Beats headphones dangling out of its 3.5mm jack. Are there any naysayers that still think the Rezound won't get its official outing at HTC's event this week? Count us amongst the believers.

?I Really Want You To Do My Vice-America President.?

Probably the biggest goof in this sentence was Huntsman?s self-introduction, ?I am Mr. Jon Huntsman.? It is even more bizarre to refer to oneself as ?Mr.? in Chinese than in English because of the Chinese cultural emphasis on humility. For example, Americans respond to compliments with ?Thank you? while Chinese will typically answer ?Nali, nali??literally, ?Where, where?? (A joke I?ve heard in China is that Americans claim to ?speak? Chinese no matter how few words they understand, while Chinese claim to be unable to speak English no matter how many words they understand.) Calling oneself ?Mr.? in Chinese sounds as jarring as calling oneself ?the esteemed Mr.? in English.

Oil drops near $93, pausing 24-pct October rally (AP)

SINGAPORE ? Oil prices dropped to near $93 a barrel Friday in Asia after surging the previous session amid investor optimism Europe's plan to contain its debt crisis will help boost global economic growth.

Benchmark crude for December delivery was down 83 cents at $93.13 a barrel at late afternoon Singapore time in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract rose $3.76, or 4.2 percent, to settle at $93.96 in New York on Thursday.

Brent crude was down 38 cents at $111.70 a barrel on the ICE Futures Exchange in London.

Crude has surged about 24 percent from $75 on Oct. 4 on expectations Europe would be able to keep Greece's soaring debt levels from mushrooming into a financial and economic crisis.

On Thursday, EU leaders announced a plan that will cut Greek debt and require bondholders to accept a 50 percent loss. The plan also included a euro1 trillion ($1.39 trillion) bailout fund.

Global stock markets, which oil traders often look to as a barometer of overall investor confidence, jumped after the deal was announced. Equities in Asia also gained Friday.

The debt plan also helped boost the euro. A weaker dollar makes commodities less expensive for investors with other currencies. The euro was steady Friday at $1.4163.

"Markets gave an unequivocal vote of confidence to the summit deal," energy consultant Cameron Hanover said in a report. "Clearly, the strength in the euro and in equities helped push oil prices higher."

Easing fears that the U.S. economy will soon slip into recession has also helped push crude higher this month. The U.S. said Thursday its gross domestic product grew 2.5 percent in the third quarter, up from 1.3 percent growth in the second and 0.4 percent in the first.

"With so many observers fearing a retreat back into recession, the growth of 2.5 percent seemed remarkably robust," Cameron Hanover said.

In other Nymex trading, heating oil fell 0.7 cent to $3.10 per gallon and gasoline futures slid 1.2 cents at $2.70 per gallon. Natural gas advanced 4.6 cents at $3.81 per 1,000 cubic feet.
