US Central Command: Iraq Moves Toward 'Chaos'

Posted by Frankie at 11/01/2006 02:25:00 AM

From todays NYT:
A slide titled “Iraq: Indications and Warnings of Civil Conflict” lists factors that are destabilizing Iraq.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 30 — A classified briefing prepared two weeks ago by the United States Central Command portrays Iraq as edging toward chaos, in a chart that the military is using as a barometer of civil conflict.

A one-page slide shown at the Oct. 18 briefing provides a rare glimpse into how the military command that oversees the war is trying to track its trajectory, particularly in terms of sectarian fighting.

The slide includes a color-coded bar chart that is used to illustrate an “Index of Civil Conflict.” It shows a sharp escalation in sectarian violence since the bombing of a Shiite shrine in Samarra in February, and tracks a further worsening this month despite a concerted American push to tamp down the violence in Baghdad.

Rudy Guliani announced that he is going to run for president. Wow! I remember him standing at 9/ll ground zero saying how glad he was that George Bush was his president. Thats what this country needs, a guy that beat rectal cancer so that makes him a perfect asshole.
