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."
Be safe!
LOL
Let's be careful in our euphoria. Personally, I'm a little cautious until we see a few weeks going ahead. We still need to watch out for our guys; especially our captured Marine. I'm so _____ of our guys getting murdered by these bastards. Pray for our Soldiers!
Don't forget Michael "Vladimir Harkonnen" Moore's take ...

Thanks for the laugh!
Vice President uses dirty word so America gives up!
(Hey, it isn't any stupider than what the Press normally writes.)
That, all by itself, is a sweet reason to do it.
Jennings and Brokaw are gonna have a hissy-fit.
All the best. Prayers and best wishes.
nice grab
This IS a scoop and how.
You could turn on Fox and watch the show that Laurie Dhue hosts.
Bunk. We're not going to leave Iraq for years. If that's what the jihadists were counting on, they're going to be disappointed.
Here is the headline I would like to see.
