US Admits It Will Still Control Iraq After Transfer 
by Rupert Cornwell in Washington
 
The US has made clear that the transfer of sovereignty to a
provisional Iraqi government on 30 June will be a limited affair,
and that ultimate authority will reside at a gigantic new US embassy
in Baghdad and with the military occupation force.

In sometimes heated hearings on Capitol Hill this week, senior Bush
administration officials admitted they did not know who would be in
the new government, precisely what powers it would exercise, nor the
exact shape of the new Security Council resolution that Washington
is seeking at the United Nations.

Marc Grossman, Under-Secretary of State for political affairs, said
the government would put "a very important Iraqi face" on many
aspects of the country's life. But the US military, not the Iraqi
security forces, would be in charge of all security matters.



RAC
right, you might take a look at that date. Last year. The Iraqi's have now elected their own government which is still temporary and has the assigned job of writing a constitution. When that is complete, supposedly some time in August, the Nation will have a chance to ratify it or reject it in an election which I bet more Sunnis will take place in. If it is ratified, then there will be another election electing a permanent government with full powers next January.
