    Time to bring or troops home, right? Wrong....

    BAGHDAD, Iraq
    - Iraq formally took over command of its armed forces from the U.S.-led coalition Thursday, a milestone American officials have hailed as crucial to the country's difficult road to independence and eventual withdrawal of foreign troops.

    However, Iraq's bloodshed continued in the hours before the handover. Six bomb attacks targeting police patrols in Baghdad killed at least 17 people and wounded more than 50.

    "This is such a huge, significant event that's about to occur," U.S. military spokesman Maj. Gen. William Caldwell said Wednesday of the handover. "If you go back and you map out significant events that have occurred in this government's formation in taking control of the country, tomorrow is gigantic."

    The heavily touted transfer was scheduled to take place five days ago, but was canceled at the last minute as the two sides tried to work out differences over the do ents involved.

    Obvious election-year stunt, but only Democrats politicize the war in Iraq.

    More ing Repug election bull campaign charade.

    This has nothing to do with anything in Iraq.
    It's all about the Repugs trying to save their balls in November.

    And you can bet that the M$M won't call Dubya on it either.
