I was as surprised to hear about the transfer as I was to hear it was a midwestern earthquake that had my four leggeds restless. Either that or they were celebrating the transfer.

Hmmm, looks like our "dumb" President got it wrong again and handed over sovereignty of Iraq to the Iraqi people 2 days early. Someone should set the calendar in his watch for him.

Imagine that, Bush gets it all wrong and surprises the terrorists who planned some massive killings to disrupt the proceedings on "June 30." Alas, a lost opportunity for terrorists to kill some more Iraqis but then what can they expect when relying on the timetable of someone as reputedly "stupid" as President Bush?

Your point is well taken juniperb. Stupid is the right word because if dumb, Bush wouldn't have been able to orally lay out what he intended to do, both to Congress and the American people.

Of course, he's stupid for going ahead and doing what he said he was going to do; to the surprise of democrats who voted for the war in Iraq and then were totally surprised when the President stupidly went ahead and sent coalition forces into Iraq to get rid of Saddam's regime.

Hello John Kerry, Iraq is now a sovereign nation without Saddam but we all know, from what you've been saying, that isn't what you intended when you voted for the war with Iraq.

Yipppeeee...

Somehow, I think we are ready to have one of those "Oh I see" moments..when we realize what has been done has been done for the greater good. Then again, I am an optimist.

Let's see how the Iraqis like the sweet taste of freedom.
