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."

G
can you imagine what Kerry said when he work up this morning?
It seems they have NOT adopted the new flag. We'll see if that changes at some point in the future.
F'en!
ok . . . ok . . . LOL!
The guy with the biggest bounty on his head. Pray for his safety.
GREAT news to wake up to.
John Kerry, Teddy Kennedy, Michael Moore, Al Qaeda, DU, et al are PISSED!
Independence Day! Thank you, God. Bless and protect our troops and all who sacrifice for freedom in Iraq and around the world. May the seeds of faith planted in this longsuffering land take root. May we never forget the price paid for our freedom, and their's. May others see in the sacrifice of our fallen troops, the love of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave his life for us while we were yet sinners, that we may be free, in love.
God bless faithful FRiends.
I noticed the same in my area. None of the local networks are carrying this. They are on local news and weather.
In 30 minutes when Katie is on, I'll bet she won't be too Perky this morning.
It's Campbell Brown today; and right now, they are getting ready to talk about Princess Di.
It's Sulky Katie from now on. Kerry will most likely be using the F word again!
I just figured out what the liberals are going to carp about.
They're going to say that Bush shaking hands with Blair and the two of them grinning was bad form and rude, gloating even.

No doubt, BUT nobody will agree w/that spin. Brit Hume on phone said it was a very good thing for Bush. There's victory pie on the others' faces whether they know it or not.
New Iraqi PM: The Iraqi people need to stand up against the foreign insurgents. Those are the infidels.
