Everything is fine in Iraq part 45

So a series of attacks in Iraq today kill 89 people, including 3 U.S. soldiers. It is now 6 days till the "handover" of "power" to the Iraqi "Government." If this thing keeps up, do you think the Bushies will go ahead with the pomp and circumstance, brass bands, ceremonially flag raising and all that on the handover date while hundreds continue to die on the streets of Baghdad? But could they afford to postpone the handover in light of massive civilian casualties? Just think of a CNN split-screen. Paul Bremer given his handover speech with the new Iraqi PM on one side of the screen, with a burning Iraqi police station and wreaked U.S. Humvee on the other.
