Quote:This "transfer of power" is a joke. We still have our troops there (and must do so). We still have a lot of control. The leader of Iraq is a ... friend ... of the CIA. This is just for show and I'd be pretty surprised if it changes anything.
The new Iraqi government DOES have complete control of the government and the country, except in the case of security which would be impossible for them to be in control of. In other words they've taken over all the powers that Paul Bremmer had.
