In reality, they have as much power as we're willing to let them have.




We were happy to get out of the cities and allow the Iraqis to take over their defense.  We wanted to stay in Iraq forever, which is why we did build bases, much as we're staying forever in Germany and other nations where there are no hostilities and haven't been for decades. 


Since there have been changes in Washington, it seems unlikely that we will continue to have troops stationed in Iraq 65 years after the end of that war.  Not impossible, mind you, but unlikely.





You can if you have the power to see that it is renewed.
