Blair acknowledges that Iraqi government is not in control of Iraq

Blair has welcomed the new Iraqi government with a statement that "The question now is can they...make their writ run throughout the country and get to the point where Iraq can take control of its own destiny". This looks like an explicit acknowledgement that the 'sovereign' Iraqi government can't decide what happens within its own borders. Not exactly a great revelation, but interesting to hear it coming from our Prime Minister just as the Iraqi Government is sworn in.
