Full sovereignty?

Previous wording implied that the handover of day-to-day civil authority from the CPA, to an interim government composed of Iraqis chosen by and appointed by foreigners marked the return of full sovereignty.

Resolution 1546 doesn't state this. I think it is clear that the resolution was merely applauding a step towards the gradual restoration of full sovereignty.

I invite those who consider this handover to have completed the transition to full sovereignty to consider:

The CPA's 100 plus decrees remained in full effect -- note, in particular,
- who set the rules for the adoption of the new Iraqi constitution.
- "Contractors", including Mercenaries remained immune from Iraqi law.
- Contracts signed by the CPA couldn't be cancelled or renegotiated by the Interim government
The USA continued to be the ultimated military authority in Iraq.
The Iraqi's didn't choose the members of the interim government.
