Rumsfeld Hedges on June 30 Iraqi Sovereignty Date:

"Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said on Tuesday he could not be sure that a June 30 date would be met for ending the U.S.-led occupation of Iraq and handing sovereignty over to Iraq.

'Everybody, including the Iraqi Governing Council, has set that date as a target,' he said in a radio interview with the British Broadcasting Corporation at the Pentagon.

'And do I think it will happen? It has a chance of happening, yes. Will it happen for sure? Who knows? I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow,' Rumsfeld added."
