Does this mean US forces are under foreign control?

washingtonpost.com: U.S. Forces Launch Attack on Fallujah: " U.S. forces entered the Sunni stronghold of Fallujah Monday, launching a long-anticipated urban offensive that is widely seen as the most significant and controversial battle since the U.S. invasion of Iraq 19 months ago.


The assault is code-named Operation Phantom Fury. It was led by U.S. Marines and members of the Army's 1st Infantry Division and follows weeks of bombing by U.S. aircraft. It came about 11 a.m. EST, hours after Iraq's interim prime minister, Ayad Allawi, announced that he had formally authorized the attack.


'I gave my authority to the multinational forces, Iraqi forces. We are determined to clean Fallujah from the terrorists,' Allawi declared earlier Monday in Baghdad. 'I have reached the belief that I have no other choice but to resort to extreme measures to protect the Iraqi people from these killers and to liberate the residents of Fallujah so they can return to their homes,' he told a news conference."
