By saying Iraq is "independent", the Iraqi Prime Minister meant that they are trying to become their own secure country with no help from the US. Although the Prime Minister states that Iraq is already independent, I believe that they are not completely there yet because there are still US combats helping out. Once Iraq is secure without the US, then I would confidently say that they are independent.

Even though the prime minister said that Iraq is now "sovereign and independent," the country hasn't reached that point. Iraq is on training wheels from the US. First of all, their military still relies on training from US combat troops in order to protect the people. Second, a strong, stable government has not been established by the people themselves. And lastly, violence has not been under control which demonstrates the weakness of their security forces. If Iraq were fully independent, it wouldn't need help from US troops. Comments are closed.
