The NYTimes editorial in the title link is the gloomiest yet about Iraq...
Clearly, Dubya and the Neocons have not noticed that SADDAM'S IRAQ NO LONGER EXISTS....
And bringing back Saddam's Iraq now will be like putting toothpaste back into the tube! It simply ain't gonna happen.
The news cycle goes from bad to worse on a daily basis now... And the Neocons seem to have left Dubya in a hopeless condition...with no valid exit strategy possible now.
There will VERY LIKELY be ETHNIC CLEANSING in Iraq that will make Kosovo and Yugoslavia look like a walk in the park! Right now the US is trying to "cleanse" the center of Iraq of all Sunnis...to make Baghdad "safe" for the new Shia government...
Of course, the Kurds are smiling knowingly these days because...INDEPENDANCE--WITH THE NORTHERN OIL FIELDS IS ALMOST ASSURED!
Clearly the Likud notion that getting rid of Saddam would "help Israel" was woefully wrong... Indeed anti American anti Israel sentiment is growing stronger by the day.
The only "scenario" that is still "in play" is the Evangelical notion that if Armageddon happens the Jews will convert to Jesus! But somehow I suspect that is no what Wolfie and the American Likudnics had in mind...?
