First-off, anyone in authority from any country that believes The Iraqi War (Part II) is actually over, especially while Coalition Forces are still taking casualties,...are morons.
Then too, there's that history bit of after WWII and the occupation of both Japan and Germany lasting about 6 or so years, since and just as in Iraq, not all Japanese and all Germans loved The American and The British Victors.
Yeah, I know it's hard to believe that everyone in the world does love The Yanks or The Brits. Regardless, and whom loves whom aside, and if it took: "6 or so years" to let the Germans and Japanese finally govern themselves,...how-the-hell can anyone in their right mind think that Iraqis can protect and govern themselves in just weeks or months?
Such just isn't possible,...unless having ANOTHER Iran instead of Iraq next to Iran is what's wanted. Democracy installations while safeguarding The People take time. Whereas Mullahdoms or dictatorships are really quick to establish, since non-compliance bringing on death does sort-of expidite things.
