Dictionaries in Short Supply?

Can someone please give the talking heads at ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, CNN, MSNBC a dictionary?

They all keep saying that Iraq was given sovereignty this morning. And yet no such thing happened. It's true that Paul Bremmer gave a letter to al Yawer saying so. It's true that Bremmer then left Iraq with all the alacrity of a rat from a sinking ship. But we all know that what the new Iraqi government has been left with is nothing like sovereignty;

n. government free from external control.
via WordNet.

But just for fun, wouldn't it be great if they actually tried to act as though they did? What would happen if al Yawer ordered all American military personnel out? What would happen if he sent his security forces - if any of them are working these days - to claim true custody of Saddam Hussein?

Farce might be too mild a word.
