WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said on Tuesday he could not be sure that a June 30 date would be met for ending the U.S.-led occupation of Iraq (news - web sites) and handing sovereignty over to Iraq


"Everybody, including the Iraqi Governing Council, has set that date as a target," he said in a radio interview with the British Broadcasting Corporation at the Pentagon (news - web sites).


"And do I think it will happen? It has a chance of happening, yes. Will it happen for sure? Who knows? I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow," Rumsfeld added.

Well for a man intent on taking the whole world over he sure does like to flip off.First it was for sure june 30 , now its sorta maybe kinda.
Kinda hard to leave when nation building isnt up the par and you havent sucked out all the oil yet.
He just makes me wanna hurl.

4. Wasn't Sistani demanding a Iraqi sovereignty by December?

I know our own administration honks on about June endlessly, but wasn't Sistani talking about the end of the year?
