It might be, but that's also irrelevant to this conversation as we are not an occupying power in Iraq, . . . Tim, we are definitely living on different planets. If you won't accept the notion that the US is an occupying power in Iraq, it's simply not possible to have a reasonable conversation with you. There might, for instance, be an argument that such arms length negotiations could take place despite the fact we are an occupying power. That would take more than a little argument, evidence, because it is not believable on its face. But to assert the US is not an occupying power in Iraq just ends any conversation about Iraq.
