Iraq's day of reckoning

On June 30, President Bush has promised a full transfer of sovereignty
will take place; but will the new government really be independent?

On June 30, the formal status of Iraq as a territory under foreign
military occupation is due to end. The coalition provisional authority
(CPA) under the proconsulship of Paul Bremer will cease to exist,
replaced by a new interim Iraqi government. From that day the US will
have not a proconsul, but an ambassador, John Negroponte, currently
the US representative at the UN. The plan is that the new arrangements
will have the seal of approval of a UN security council resolution; a
draft text was presented yesterday.
