Level up: 52%, 44 Points needed | | Iraq takes over command of armed forces BAGHDAD, Iraq - U.S.-led forces turned over control of Iraq's military command to the Shiite-led government Thursday, a key step toward the eventual withdrawal of foreign troops. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp..._mi_ea/iraq_28
Progress is being made in Iraq... as much as the liberal punditts hate to admit.
