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."

This is great news! It's the birth of a nation!
Congratulations to Bush, who has delivered on his promise of a free Iraq.
And congratulations to the brave Iraqi men and women who have stepped up to lead their new nation, despite their enemies in Iraq, America, the media, and the world. My prayers are for them on this day.

Bremmer handed Iraq over to the Iraqis and yes,I though FNC said he then left.
To: DoctorZIn
The DUer's are such whiners.
They're too nasty and vile for my tastes, which is why I just don't go there anymore. Even to laugh at them when they get wound up, like I'm sure they are now.
I have a few, a few I said, Dim friends and I'm sure I'll hear basically the same things from them when I next run into them. *sigh* But I'll do what I usually do, I'm sure....laugh. hehe.

Wow, Greg Palkot just said that we will see Saddam in a couple of days standing before a judge in Iraq hearing the charges against him. Said he will probably face the death penalty! Also said G.W. may speak later!! Cool.
