I love the early transfer of power in Iraq. Though I doubt it’ll really change any insurgent attempts to bring the new government down, it feels like we just gave the terrorists both birds and told ’em Hahaha! BURN!

[6/30/04 Update: Brian expressed confusion over what I meant by this post. Word on the street was that the Iraqi insurgents were planning an escalation of attacks leading up to the transfer of power; by executing the transfer early, we cut any such escalation off at the knees. (Of course, that doesn’t mean that the terrorists will just give up and go home.) Oh, and that last “burn” was as in “you got burned!,” not as in “die in flames.”]
