Imagine how "free" we'd feel with Bush gone but Iraqi troops patrolling our cities, capturing our people, and handling all revenue.

Iraqis and/or American Quislings can determine who runs for office.

Etc.

Sort of like imagining how "free" the Hungarians, Czechs, Rumanians, etc., were as satellites of the Soviets. No freedom, except in name.

No sovereignity, except in name. Imagine if one of them had voted against the Soviet Union in the UN.

Nope. Bush has lost the Iraq war after all, has declared victory, and leaving.

Oh, yes. He's keeping the oil, and billions of dollars of Iraqi money is missing since the CPA took over. According to KPMG.

Sure doesn't look like "freedom" to me. Saddam's gone, but now there are foreigners killing Iraqis.
