U.S. will keep power after June 30 in Iraq

USA Today

The United States says Iraq will be sovereign, no longer under military occupation, on June 30. But most power will reside within the world's largest U.S. Embassy, backed by 110,000 U.S. troops..."We don't expect them to enact any laws unless there is absolute need for them," Iraqi Governing Council member Adnan Pachachi said Sunday. "We're not going to enter into any big contractual obligations — either diplomatically or economically — because those things should be done by an elected government."...
While this is probably a necessary requirement for the time being, expect it to be a point of contention both internationally and with the Iraqis until they gain true control of their country.
