U.S. Hands 'Power' to Iraqis Two Days Early

PHONY BALONEY
You know, of course, that the alleged hand-over of Iraqi sovereignty on June 30 is a phony-baloney public-relations stunt. The armed forces will remain in the country. A U.S. embassy with 1,000 employees will open. In other words, it will be a continued occupation with an Iraqi face.

Handover or Hangover?

Adam Hochschild on hubris and the pseudostate
Finally, the week of "transition" has come. The rolling of drums (or is that the boom of mortars?), the handing over of what our President insists is "complete, full sovereignty" to an "Iraqi government," the moment for which this whole war was supposedly fought (once, at least, that every other conceivable reason fell away). Quite literally a year late and a dollar -- give or take a few billion -- short, Iraq reenters the world with its sovereignty weighed down and constrained by 97 L. Paul Bremer-inspired occupation administration "legal orders" that, for years to come, are meant to control practically all Iraqi acts from who can take part in elections to how you drive your car (two handed, no horns except in "emergency situations").
