Sovereignty myths and the Iraqi transition timeline
The piece argues Iraq will remain under U.S. influence from the CPA era through a continued military and political footprint. It cites the Lakhdar Brahimi Bremer Blackwill trio, low poll support for interim leaders including Iyad Allawi, and postponed elections until 2005. It notes nearly $2 billion from the Iraq Development Fund, ongoing U.S. troop presence, and immunity for foreign personnel under Order 17. The argument concludes true sovereignty requires Iraqi involvement and investment beyond occupation.
