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."
If there are pickets, they can cancel Kerry and replace him with "Hollywod Wierdos Night". Michael Moore endorses Kerry! Larry Flynt rolls out with Teresa in his lap! The entire California delegation experiences simultaneous orgasms as "President Bartlett" addresses the convention!
Did you see it? Fox just showed the exact moment........Bush and Blair shook hands and smirked!
So the Bush Administration got the drop on the big media guys.....woohoo! Meanwhile Kerry dithers.
HAHAH.....listen to Fox: "Great stategery!"
Great work! Is Fox on this thread, or are great minds thinking alike?
I missed hearing the sealing borders comment!
I'm trying to visualize what Dan and Tom (newsreaders) are thinking now.
And Bremer had on his boots!
I am going to notify everyone when I go to bed early, because it almost guarantees big news!!
I just wanna say
Thank you to all the United states armed services and all her alies for which this transfer would have never happened thank you George W Bush and Tony Blair for having the Integrity and the fortitude to stand the tides of change.
God Bless one and all
Freedom is not free Sovereignty is but a step in a long road to freedom Congradulations to the Iraqie People may every step here forward be that of true freedom and dignity to all your people.
Next the sucky left is going to give President Bush flak for not attending the handover. Even though we're heavily involved, this wasn't about us. It was about Iraq.
Oh, no! Please don't tell me they SMIRKED! What will the world say! LOL!
Find out I'd have to leave the house to get vodka to do the bloody, but foolishy opened the can of tomato juice before checking. :( It's okay though, cuz I usually like a beer chaser with my bloody mary's & I'm wired enough at this point to just skip a step, thus I'm having myself a bloody beer. lol
I'm spoiled rotten. I anwer to no one & can sleep in as late as I wanna... If I ever get to sleep. lol
Good morning, I was wondering when you would get here.
Today, SMIRKING is the IN thing! Between coffee sips, I'm working on my own smirk....we ougha try it out on any liberals we know too.
Congratulations to Iraq for accepting the transfer. Cigars, for everybody! Let's just get through this day, with all it's ups and downs about Zarqawi. Prayers to our troops still working and surviving, the disbanded CPA and especially the Marine held hostage. Lord, bring them all home safely. Cigars, for everybody!
I'm so glad someone else heard this! I had just laid down to see if I could sleep and thought I might be hearing things.
