Bush And Iraq President Made Media, Zarqawi And Liberals Look Like Fools
ISTANBUL (Reuters) - President Bush quietly took note of the secret handover of power in Iraq on Monday by checking his watch at a NATO summit and shaking hands with his closest war ally, British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
CONDOLEEZZA RICE'S NOTE: "Mr. President, Iraq is sovereign. Letter was passed from Bremer at 10:26 a.m. Iraq time -- Condi."
She handed the note to Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, who passed it along to Bush.
Bush scribble back: "Let freedom reign."
RUSH: This is a day that we turn Iraq over to itself. They've got their sovereignty two days early. The press is fit to be tied because not all the press was told about this.
This Abu Mussab Zarqawi fellow did promise to raise a bunch of hell by the time June 30th came around. Now if he does it,.. he's raising hell against Iraqi citizens, not the United States.
Liberals were in shock all day!
BEGALA: Ambassador Bremer got in a helicopter and got the hell out of Dodge; 138,000 American troops there, however, were not so lucky. They remain on the front lines of Mr. Bush's war.
NOVAK: You know, Paul, I know that all Democrats want to make all the good news bad news as they can. But I noticed that Senator Kerry is not taking your position.
You're making a mistake on this if you want this to help the Democratic Party. I think you ought to say that this was a very good plus, not only for George Bush, but for America.
PRESIDENT BUSH: The world witnessed the arrival of a free and sovereign Iraqi government. After decades of brutal rule by a terror regime, the Iraqi people have their country back.
