Update:
IRAQ HANDOVER 'TODAY'
The handover of power in Iraq is to be brought forward to today.
A formal announcement will be made later today, Tony Blair said.
The informal announcement was made by Iraq's foreign minister Hoshyar Zebari.
The handover of power to an interim Iraqi government was supposed to take place on June 30.
Mr Zebari said the deteriorating security situation in the country was one of the reasons why the date had been brought forward.
"We will challenge these elements in Iraq, the anti-democratic elements, by even bringing the handover of sovereignty before June 30 as a sign we are ready for it," he said.
He added: "We have made some very good progress in terms of the new security council (in Iraq) and the return of sovereignty to the Iraqi people to take away the level of occupation we have suffered a great deal from.
"There are many Iraqis who are standing up to the challenge. We are here to seek more help and assistance, training and equipment."
Iraq already turned over!!!!!!
I've frequently heard explosions, only to find out the source of them on FR a short while later.
Keep your head down, sis. And give our love to the Grunts!
I wonder whats up the new 'raqys pres. sleeve???
I wonder if a full attack on Fallujah is going to happen??
I hope pres GW is on his way home.
Bet you a plugged nickel the Washington Post and New York Times spins this as ...
BUSH FLEES IRAQ EARLY, TAIL BETWEEN LEGS
The A-Team quote. hehehe

I keep the flow of materials / supplies moving into Iraq from outside sources in support of the construction of military bases and Iraq infastructure.
I've done this for projects in other parts of the world in the past, but supply line movement in a war zone is quite a challenge. And I like it.
Oh jeeezze, now we'll have to listen to the dems go on and on over "See, there was no plan". ;o)
That's pretty good.
How about:
Bush forgets what day it is and turns Iraq over by mistake.
Drudge is asleep!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, good move!
Nice pick!
Hey, you guys still awake for this!?!?
Good job Patriot!
Thanks
It's the middle of the day in Iraq. Is this happening, and how would we know before Blair's announcement? Best outcome is if there is no big change, just business as usual.
Yes, I think they are the best bet to deal with their enemies. We are too limited by our "Hatriots".
Scooped by FR again. What else is new?
Boy, that weather lady on CNN is fat & ugly.
