SOVEREIGNTY RETURNED TO IRAQ, IRAQ HANDS IT BACK
By Tweed
In a low-key ceremony designed to overt car bombings, suicide bombings, rocket propelled grenade attacks and assassination, Coalition Forces returned sovereignty to Iraq on Monday June 28, 2004.
"Things are going so well here," said L. Paul Bremer, sidestepping small arms fire, "that we thought we would give sovereignty back to the Iraq a few days early."
The ceremony was a testament to President Bush's resolve as L. Paul Bremer threw the Key to Iraq at interim Prime Minister Allawi. The Prime Minister tried to throw the Key back to Bremer, but the speedy diplomat was already out the door and on the way to the airport.
