Bush says Iraqis ready to assume political power

President Bush told lawmakers Iraqis are ready to take the training wheels off and assume political power from the U S led coalition as the June 30 transfer of sovereignty approaches. He warned of tougher days ahead and outlined a rough handover plan while reaffirming his commitment to U S policy despite sliding approval ratings. Secretary Powell said Brahimi is close to naming the future Iraqi leaders, working with Iraqis and Blackwill to finalize acceptable officials.
