Is it just me, or has the media been very quiet on this huge, great news of the successful handover??? It looks to me like slate.com knows more about what's going on than most major news media. And, slate.com - not exactly a pro-GW site - is willing to give GW some credit!

This move was brilliant! I'm no great war booster. But I must agree this was VERY smart.

Many in the media have portrayed this early transfer as a sign of weakness on the part of the US and evidence of how fragile the situation in Iraq is.

They then went on to say how great Michael Moore's movie and Slick's book is......and how terrible the prison abuse scandal is.......and how Cheney has a foul mouth.......

total shock. CNN international and BBC are in shock still. It was good move and great attack on left by your great president

Sometime in the next week, Allawi should have a public dispute with the United States—and he should very clearly prevail. It doesn't much matter what the issue is; the whole spat could be staged.

That might fool the U.S. liberals, but I think the U.S. conservatives and all the Iraqis would see right through it.

Bush FINALLY does something right ?

Has this guy been hanging out with Mikael Mooreblubber ?

If Bush had done what the liberals want all along, this right act would have been impossible. This transfer was a goal (not the only goal) of the war in the first place.
