Re: "Most Americans probably believe that Iraq taking control of its military command is a big deal. ...But Iraq taking control of its military command? That’s about as big as it gets. So go ahead and try to find the news media coverage of this historic event."

'Historic event'?

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ya GOTTA be KIDDING! (And... why would anyone thing it's a 'big deal' since it 'taking control of it's military command' HASN'T happened yet?)

'Control' was 'handed over' for ONLY the 8th Iraqi Army Division (all Shi'a, deep in the all Shi'a South --- where the only people to shoot are Shiites, so it's probably pretty counter-productive to have *Americans* doing the shooting there anyway, <g>), and some trainer aircraft and a few run-down PT-type boats, the so-called 'air force and the navy'.

The other nine Iraqi division (where the fighting is) remain under firm U.S. command.
