Skunk, you owe it to yourself to read the "Pentagon plans for postwar Iraq" thread I posted on this forum. It's got a link to the ministries that are already being set up in D.C.
Final note: The US *never* has been colonial, nor will it ever be. With rare exception, it has consistently left countries that it "acquired" in one way or another. The Phillipines. Cuba. Micronesia (I think). The list is fairly long and I won't bore you.
