U.S. Hands Power to Iraqis Two Days EarlyQUOTE
The U.S.-led coalition transferred sovereignty to an interim Iraqi government two days early Monday in a surprise move that apparently caught insurgents off guard, averting a feared campaign of attacks to sabotage the historic step toward self-rule.

1. Was this a smart move on the administration's part?
2. Now that power has been handed over, what effects do you think that will have?
3. What is the next milestone to look for?
