Well if it was up to your country, Saddam would still be murdering people.

Dan Rather (be a hammer than a nail...sorry, lyric from a song...couldn't resist ) said that this move seemed to be indicative of just how bad things are on the ground in Iraq.

Of course Dan Rather said that.

that has nothing to do with what i was trying to point out.

the iraqi's have nothing to say in their own country right now. and i wonder who will be allowed to take part in this free elections that are to be organized... all parties or only those who you deem non terrorist?

and it is not that the prime cause of death in iraq these days is "natural causes".

This government faces an uphill battle to survive let alone establish any credibility whilst US troops remain on the ground.

I think only political talks involving all Iraqi parties, a UN peacekeeping force and UN supervised elections have any chance of success.

Kofi should say to Bush: come with me if you want to live.

Riiiiight. People were saying that we would never hand over sovereignty, and so would find a way to delay, delay, delay.

So we hand it over a few days early, and what happens?

"This is a bad sign"

[Verto]

We transfer power two days earlier than scheduled in an attempt to save lives against any staged attack...and this is a bad thing?

[Chemical Ollie]

While the transfer of power is a good thing, it is only a partial transfer of power. And the change of date shows that something is wrong. The coming six months will tell if it works, but I'm not so optimistic.

This can only end in anarchy.

Hell I'm happy

[Giancarlo]

Anarchy can't exist. Not while US/coalition forces are there. So kiss my behind, and which flag is that in your avatar? Ah yes, Angola.. go move there.

and how would you describe the state of iraq right now then ?

a very stable democracy ?

Nope. It is transitioning. The country has to be secured by this government.

But if it was up to you leftists in Europe, Saddam would still be ruling. Or worse, the now long dead Uday.

It's nice to note the massive attacks just prior to the switch may now become the massive attacks right after the switch.

We can now start on a new ledger.

[Ogie Oglethorpe]

I twill be interesting the response when the attacks come. Word has it that the Iraqis thought the US response was too soft in many cases.
