Intelligence Report the Obvious Iraq is Unraveling

The LA Times has a report out tonight that states something that the entire world can see, Iraq is unraveling at an accelerated rate.

Possibly the news worthy item about this statement is that it is coming from America's intelligence agencies.  These agencies have not been blind to this unraveling, however politics has been hard in play for many years now and the intelligence communities public reports have been as political as anything else that flows through, towards, around, behind,below or above Washington.

The report titled, "Prospects for Iraq's Stability: A Challenging Road Ahead," moves one additional step in the direction of the obvious when it says there are a few scenarios that could lead to progress and recovery but there are many triggers that could also lead to chaos.

There is no news in any of this other than the fact that maybe the discussion in Washington can progress now that it is public that the military is no longer in denial.

The only person in denial was George Bush not the military.

Now, if we could only do something about it and get our troops home.

I agree Bush was blindly in denial.

I want the troops home as soon as possible myself, but I do not want anyone to have to go back there and fight a third time either.

I want to finish it right and get out, unfortunately Bush failed to start it right and now we are playing catch up.
