"I'm asking that if you have anything substantive (not just words) that illustrates how my assertion that we want a puppet government in Iraq is wrong, I'm open to hearing it.

Your statement of 'fact' does not match the statements made by the administration regarding the progress sought, achieved, and hoped for in Iraq. It might be true if there are hidden agendas, insidious motives, and conspiracies that are beneath the surface but there is no substantial evidence of that.

"My personal version of what a success would be in Iraq is irrelevant because it would include actual sovereignty and freedom from economic constraints that allow us to remain in control. No structural adjustment programs."

It may be irrelevant to the ultimate policy decisions of the USA but it is not irrelevant in helping to explain your opposition to the administration and your skepticism.

Your view is benevolent with regards to Iraq and lacks consideration for the strategic interests of the USA. Is it your position that the USA should realize no benefit for its support of the Iraqi development?
