The US historically takes a number of years to take formal possession of territory it has 'taken'. The facts speak for themselves - the US is the major power determining what goes on in Iraq. The US may not 'own' it, but it controls it, which is, in effect, the same thing. |
Yea, just like Germany, Japan and South Korea still have our troops since 1945/50 and the US still hasn't taken those 'possessions'. If the USA is going to leave Iraq then where are all these people about us getting out of Germany, Japan and North Korea??? It is hypocrasy.
