"What you call the government of Iraq does not control Iraq at all today. To the extent that anybody controls Iraq it is the US military."

They don't even control Baghdad! After 3 years..

The government of Iraq does exert control over large portions of Iraq, but its very weak and disputed control. Without American support it wouldn't be disputed control, there would be no dispute, the government would probably have zero control and little influence.
