A Hollow Sovereignty for Iraq
by noteworthy at 1:51 pm EDT, May 29, 2004

The climb-down in Najaf seems like a repeat of the cynical deal American commanders cut four weeks ago with Sunni rebels in Falluja, effectively turning the city over to former Baathist commanders acceptable to the insurgents.

If America's military role is now reduced to partnering with the best-armed insurgents, it is doing nothing to make Iraq more governable by its future elected leaders.

The New York Times oversimplifies a bit, but this is consistent with the analysis of Stratfor.
