You misunderstand the June 30 date. All that date will be is a handover of soveriegnty. We will still have troops on the ground, we will still be "running things". This act of soveriegnty with protection will allow the Iraqi's to write a full constitution, hold elections, set up a government, etc.

I have no expectation that there will be no further fighting after June 30. In fact, it may even increase as the insurgents see their last gasp opportunities.

I know exactly what the June 30th date is -- my point is that U.S. military personnel will be packed away (for the most part) on their compounds for the duration of this campaign. Bush will not win in November if there are casualty reports out of Iraq like you've seen in the last few weeks.
