According to the Hague convention of 1907 (or 09, I forget). Official occupation ends when governing authority is returned to officials of the occupied country. If the Bush administration returns power to the newly elected officials in Iraq, then we are no longer an occupying force.
We are in Japan, but not in an occupying sense. Same with Germany, S. Korea etc.
