We signed over the country 2 days early. Good move...now whatever those f*****g rag heads had planned to do on the day of the handover won't have the desired impact.

Maybe they'll cut someone's head off. That seems to be all the rage, lately.

I wouldn't really call it a "transfer of sovereignty" to Iraq by any stretch of the imagination. There will be 14 permanent US military bases in Iraq with over 100,000 US troops stationed there. Doesn't sound very sovereign to me, but hey, it's good PR.

There are permanent bases in Germany, too. So they're not sovereign either?

Smartest thing they have done yet....
WTF did you expect .. as much as I'd like to see us pull out of there, that's simply impossible right now. Budding Democracies need a lot of care in their infancy stages...
