BAGHDAD (AP) - The U.S. formally transferred control of the Green Zone to Iraqi authorities Thursday in a pair of ceremonies that also handed back Saddam Hussein's former palace. Iraq's prime minister said he will propose making Jan. 1 a holiday marking the restoration of sovereignty. Under the new security agreement between Washington and Baghdad to replace a U.N. mandate for foreign troops in Iraq, the Iraqi government also now has control of American troops' actions and of the country's airspace.

It sounds like they have turned command over to another nation in a multi-nation force.

Yeah, it sucks. I'd never have made a good Blue Hat trooper if I were in the military.

Our taxpayer supported armies should never be directed or controlled by a foreign power.
