Bush Committed to June 30 Deadline for Power Transfer
Bush Committed to June 30 Deadline for Power Transfer
Iraqi Judge Issues Arrest Warrant for Shiite Cleric Sadr

By William Branigin
Washington Post Staff Writer
Monday, April 5, 2004; 12:55 PM

President Bush said today that the United States remains committed to handing over political power in Iraq on June 30, despite a surge of violence there, and he vowed not to allow a radical Shiite cleric to forcefully disrupt efforts to build democracy in Iraq.

Addressing reporters after a speech in North Carolina on the economy and job training, Bush said he would not be deterred by a steadily climbing U.S. death toll in Iraq and violent resistance from both Sunni Muslims loyal to ousted president Saddam Hussein and Shiite Muslim followers of a combative young cleric, Muqtada Sadr, whose father was killed by Hussein.

"My intention is to make sure the deadline remains the same," Bush said after his speech at Central Piedmont Community College in Charlotte, N.C., referring to the June 30 date for turning over sovereignty to Iraqis after more than a year of occupation. "We're now in the process of deciding what they entity will look like to whom we will transfer sovereignty," he said. "The date remains firm."

1. Finished Fool
I just saw his press conference and he is absolutely a finished fool. It is not a work in progress,it is complete/finished.

I heard him ask for questions from the press. He called on someone and the reporter than started asking the question without saying, "Mr. President."

The Finished Fool had the nerve to ask the reporter, in such a cutting way.." Who Are You Talking To?"

Who the hell did he think the reporter was talking to ?!


Maybe that is what the reporter should have had the nerve to say, " I was talking to you Mr.UnPresident"

I wish that he could be that specific about issues like bombing countries and reading detailed briefings or even reading the leading newspapers.

5. Sounds like Mary Shelly's Frankenstein
"We're now in the process of deciding what they entity will look like to whom we will transfer sovereignty."

I don't suppose Bush will have any more luck with his creature than Frankenstein did with his.
