Breaking: Intel. Report on Iraq contrasts Bush, says civil war possible

WASHINGTON - A highly classified National Intelligence Estimate assembled by some of the government’s most senior analysts this summer provided a pessimistic assessment about the future security and stability of Iraq.


At worst, the official said, were “trend lines that would point to a civil war.” The official said it “would be fair” to call the document “pessimistic.”

Senate Republicans and Democrats on Wednesday denounced the Bush administration’s slow progress in rebuilding Iraq, saying the risks of failure are great if it doesn’t act with greater urgency.

“It’s beyond pitiful, it’s beyond embarrassing, it’s now in the zone of dangerous,” said Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., referring to figures showing only about 6 percent of the reconstruction money approved by Congress last year has been spent.

3. Rove will make it about the process rather than the result.
As I understand it, the problems with this budgeting process are more concern to some of those Republicans than the effect of it all. Read that "inter-party power struggle".

4. Civil War is possible - here in the United States
if chimp is reselected and moves forward with the PNAC plans to invade more countries and reinstate the draft.

5. That is why it is IMPERATIVE that every college campus is flooded
with the information about * wanting to reinstitute the draft.

So MANY college kids would be floored if they knew! :mad:
