Looming failure
Condi says the training of Iraqi troops is going so swimmingly that the current level of U.S. forces in Iraq would not need to remain much longer. Ah, there are no clouds on our horizon.
Not everyone agrees with Rice's rosy assessment: "Saving Iraq will require the Bush administration to alter its fundamental goal in Iraq: a unified country. Iraq is an artificial country that has been held together over the years by the brute force of dictators. It is now being held together only by a foreign military. As that military exits, Iraq will break apart one way or another. In fact, with all of the armed factions policing parts of Iraq, the country already has a de facto partition."
No problem for the Bushies though. They will conduct a symbolic “pullout” of troops to help bolster Republican chances in the 2006 elections.
