Nope, I don't think so. But I hope you're right. [/QUOTE]What makes you sure Skunk? Firstly, the sovereignty is not real sovereignty, so therefore its not legitimate. Secondly, the US will maintain a formidable presence for years to come even if troops pull out. The largest embassy in the world I seem to remember reading somewhere. Thirdly, most Iraqi's don't even know the members of the new government and therefore I should imagine the loyalties of the insurgents would be debatable at best.
That's not even counting the fighters who aren't from Iraq and therefore would have no allegiance to a sovereign Iraqi government anyway. But yes, I hope also.
