"The fact is we are their to support not to rule "

Your opinion only. Do you actually think that we would allow them to do whatever they want with their oil? Be honest now.

"Why is the term occupier so important to you?"

I just believe in calling things what they are. I don't believe in delusional pretense.

Edit: "Do you want the government to succeed? yes or no. "

It depends on what one's definition of "succeed" is. Personally I am a firm believer in national sovereignty and decentralization of power. So the success I would like to see would be for Iraq to actually be independently sovereign. But I am realistic enough to know that we want to control what they do with their oil. So I guess the success I would settle for would be to see them get a fair shake as far as the oil revenue sharing laws. I don't see why they should subordinate themselves to a Federal Oil and Gas Council which would in fact give away their sovereignty to a large degree as regards the most valuable asset they have.
