Sen. Chuck Grassley today made the following comment regarding the handover of sovereignty from the Coalition Provisional Authority to the interim Iraqi government.
"Today's handover of sovereignty is an historic event. For the first time in decades, the Iraqi people are in charge. The early handover shows the Iraqi people that their government is ready to take charge of its own destiny. More importantly, today's action is a signal to the insurgents and foreign terrorists that their efforts to destabilize Iraq and bring terror to the Iraqi people will not be allowed to derail Iraq from a course of freedom and democracy."
