Are you kidding? Where did you hear this? Oh God, if that`s true the dimrats would be having seizures. This early handover not only upsets Al Qaidas plans but the dimrats plans to stage a huge "It failed" rally.

US administrator Paul Bremer signs the official document that hands over power to an Iraqi interim government. Iraq will need to overcome numerous obstacles, including two nationwide elections and a constitutional referendum, before regaining full sovereignty and a democratic government at the end of next year or in 2006.(AFP/US Military/HO)

The timing of this vis a vis the fat slob's propoganda film is pretty sweet.

Excellent. Now the terrorists in Iraq are not attacking the US andcoalition, but Iraq as a nation. Great move.

Exactly. They'll be confronting Iraqis, not Americans as we cede more and more responsibility to Iraq's growing security forces.

Yes, and the new Iraqi gov't is calling the terrorists "infidels". Now we're talking.

Hey. Anyone out there. What gives?

What happened to the new Iraqi flag?

That looks like the old flag, although the arabic in the middle between the stars may be different?

Paul Bremer deserves the Medal of Freedom! Talk about a tough, thankless job. Thank you Mr. Bremer.

I could not agree more! Mr. Bremer is a true American. Most men at his age are in retirement and their golf game would be more important than taking on one of the most stressful jobs in the world.

Sorry, avid golfers, but one words to the Terrorist: "FORE"
