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."

It would be gauche if US Forces took out a bunch of Iraqis wildly firing into the air.
With any luck, they won't need to. What goes up, must come down... I'd just be standing well clear when it happens, is all...

You know what's amazing? Not even a hint of this, at least nowhere that I saw, and I tend to keep up with a lot of sources on Iraq. Not bad at all.
To: ScaniaBoy
Exactly so! President Bush and his team have really done the impossible,in such a very short time.
The president means what he says,follows through,and yet so many misunderestimate him still. Those folks will rue the day they did,though,including the crazies over there and our home grown ones.

Has the new president been sworn in? This is so cool. We are watching history. I pray that God will bless this gov't and give it success but lay the evil-doers LOW.
To: Vision Thing
Oh, I was only trying that one thread.
Probably every dim in the country was woken up by their Kerry campaign alert buzzer and all tried to get on at once. I can hear their screaming and hyperventilating!
