Baghdad - US forces handed over on Wednesday the security file of Wassit province to Iraq's security forces amid celebrations. Wassit is the thirteenth province to take over responsibility for security operations from the US forces. Wassit is located some 170 kilometres southeast of Baghdad. US forces still control the Iraqi Capital of Baghdad and four other northern provinces. Celebrations took place in a sports stadium with the participation of hundreds of security forces members and government representatives. |

#3 If "Renegade" (Obama's Secret Service code name) wins Iraq will be forgotten almost immediately and Afghanistan will be shuffled off for NATO to resolve. His 2012 campaign will herald his success at bringing peace and salvation to both regions. Africa will become his Cause Celeb soon after his inauguration. He'll fly the wings off of Air Force One attending African and European summits, while O'Biden, Poloosi, Franks, and Reid run the farm. |

#2 I still think that if Obama wins, Iraq should renounce the SOFA and ask the US military to leave by Jan. 1. This is the only way that both Iraq and the US military can be protected from Obama and his "brain trust", from sabotaging the occupation to force a loss, at the loss of thousands of Iraqi and US lives. |

#1 If troops are out coinciding with ohbama's timeline it is because of the hard work to achieve these milestones - not because the freshman was right (pulling out no matter what). Good work everyone; proud of ya. |
