And what was that????


An Iraqi government could have been formed and real elections held in the first six months of occupation; the violence was far less than there is now. The Shiite groups, headed by Grand Ayatollah Sistani, wanted prompt elections. The Coalition Provisional Authority, headed by Bremer, wanted NO elections; they wanted delegates to a constitutional convention picked in caucuses (admission to which would be controlled by the US troops). Sistani has persistently insisted on REAL elections with a government being given REAL power; the US has hemmed and hawed and used every delaying tactic available. "Reconstruction" was the key word the first year, meaning which US rich guys could get control of US money earmarked for Iraq and the Iraqi economy. The CPA dictated laws without the consent of the Iraqis which are still in force, many of which were for the purpose of opening the Iraqi economy up to foreign investors. You would know all this if you made the slightest effort to study the facts.

An Iraqi government could be formed tomorrow as far as I'm concerned and whether they could or couldn't "fend for themselves" would be their problem.

Question, who is in charge in Iraq? The United States or Iraq. The turnover of sovereignty has already occured.

You are incorrect; the "government" in Iraq doesn't even have the power to pass any laws. Right now all it can do is name some executive officials who's powers are what the US government and military say they are and propose a constitution for a referundum. The law in Iraq that is in force was promulgated by the CPA, an all-US group headed by Paul Bremer.
