Fast Break: That was pretty tricky of Bush to secretly hand off sovereignty to the Iraqi people to avoid terrorist attacks. While we still have American troops there supporting the new nation, we have divested all control over the inner workings of the government (some empire, eh libs?).

Unfortunately the surprise authority transfer indicates how serious a threat the terrorists still are in Iraq. The Iraqis may have control over their country for the first time in decades, but they still won't be completely free until the terrorist insurgency is destroyed.

Of course, now the terrorists can't claim to be attacking the Americans. They'll be attacking fellow Arabs and Muslims. And the new Iraqi government will have every right to crack down hard on the terrorists who wish to bring tyranny and oppression back to Iraq.
