3. What this is really about is...
Idiot in chief wants to be able to say well we have handed over power to the Iraqies and we are moving as quickly as possible to remove US from Iraq. This will be a big lie in the campaign and the June 30th deadline is essetial even though it will be a big lie because the US will still be running the country no matter who we say are running the country.
