Sovereign?
Two days early, Paul Bremer and the suits turned over the keys and skedaddled, leaving behind 160,000 uniformed soldiers and a "sovereign" country with no security, no infrastructure, and no government to speak of. We HAVE left Iraq a nice legacy - thousands of dead, millions of spent depleted-uranium shells, and a nice supply of newly minted terrorists.
With John Negroponte as our diplomatic presence in Baghdad, how long will it be before the newly empowered Baathists start forming death squads to keep the Shi'a in line?
Mission accomplished!
