9. Not so much that as . . .
An abject admission that they have so little control of the situation in Iraq, that they couldn't guarantee an orderly, undisrupted and above all Q-U-I-E-T transfer ceremony on June 30.

This rather salient point, however, will completely escape the TV talking heads, who will marvel over how well {ka-boom} the Iraqis {eeeeeeee-blam!} are taking to {budd-budda-budda-budda} their new-found {ack-ack-ack-ack-ack} sovereignty {hit the deck!}.
