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."
Steamer trunk and that's one job,besides telling Saddam,that I wish I could have had. LOL
The new minister has arab clothes on instead on western. Nice move.
Amazing!--Rather was just on the air via phone. Not amazing!--sounded very pessimistic about the situation.
FOX must have gotten a heads up before the others. Love it.
They'll just shrug and say, "That's nothing. We Americans are worse. In fact, we're the most cruel tyrants of all. Don't you remember how we made Iraqi prisoners form human pyramids and wear masks on their heads?"
Bed? Thanks for the reminder. Should have been asleep two hours ago.
Did I read that Bremer was coming home and going to take cooking classes? He shouldn't have to work another day in his life!
Mahybe,just maybe,that IS the case. I don't think that anyone is treating Saddam as anyone with "need to know" power.

FR is better than tv.

FReegards, D2

Preparation H is used by all the "beautiful people" for unsightly undereye bags.
Certainly Teh-raaaaza has some at all times since she's married to that pain in the ass.
LOL, They're (The Media) upset becsuse they didn't get the chance to spend the first half of this week undermining this historical event :-)
Heh
I didn't see her either, just a red "X"
And, oh yea, she did sing!
She sung, "It is over, Iraq is a sovereign country"
What sweet music by the Fat Lady.

Deeply Saddened
Not as saddened as this guy.
Oh nooooooooooooooooooooooo...that's gonna bed hard,very very hard to live with.

He'll have that same dazed look that he had when he was kicked out of that hole in the ground...
