"Ah, you mean to the victor goes the spoils. We invaded a sovereign nation because we accused them of having weapons they didn't. Our advanced weaponry made it a one sided ass kicking from a military standpoint...and so now, as the conquering invader, we should be able to tell these weaklings exactly what is, and what isn't."
I am not saying we "should" be able to tell Iraq what to do. I am saying that we "are" telling Iraq what to do. "Trying to discern if you're kidding....." Of course I am not kidding. Also, I really doubt Iraq wants us to leave. If the US left with all of the unrest in the Middle East, Iraq could be in for a serious butt whipping from Iran, Turkey or even the Kurds or be susceptible to a civil uprising like the Arab Spring. There is one thing all leaders in all countries have in common. They want to stay in power. The best way for the Iraqi leaders to stay in power is to toe the "company" line. They will be allowed to verbal express disagreement, but not actually act on it.
