Listen to McGrath.

The current Iraqi "government" has no legitimacy under international law so cannot make laws or agreements that will bind its successors.
The handover on 30 June is looking so dodgy that the successor government could also be regarded as illegitimate. If the UN backs the post-June 30 puppet government, all the oil contracts, leases on military bases etc will not be legitimately revocable by successor elected governments, so Iraq will become what Bush has always wanted: a wholly-owned subsidiary of USA Inc.
