Again?
Excellent. Another liberal think tank calls it a quagmire.
Don’t you have to be up before you can fall down?
Would have been the lead story tonight, except for the Seante Amnesty agreement.
A protester chants slogans near burning tyres during a demonstration in Basra, 550 km (340 miles) south of Baghdad May 16, 2007. Iraq's government has lost control of vast areas to powerful local factions and the country is on the verge of collapse and fragmentation, a leading British think-tank said on Thursday.
“Iraq is on the verge of collapse: report”
So is America.
THe Sky is falling alert.......
Such Shrill Pantywaists.
We’re all doomed.
We’re all gonna die.
Bush’s fault.
Have I missed anything?
So, do they recommend pulling out, and letting Iraq sort out a totally equal distribution of oil wealth on their own? Yeah. I’m certain that will fix things up just fine. /sarc.
Iraqi Collapse of the Day.
They must be rebuilding at night.
These are the same stupid a**holes pushing global warming.
Looks like Mexico isn’t far behind either. How many officials, military and police murdered in the last six months?
If you substitute “Palestinian Authority for every appearance of “Iraq” in this article, it would be dead-nuts on.
As it is, it is just nuts.
Oh goodie. A report from al-Reuters. I’m sure any accompanying photos will be accurate as well.
There really is not a new point in the report.
Seems to me that the common sense approach to this would be to have the Iraqis rewrite their constituion to include a provision for three state Republic under one Federal government in Bahgdad. Each seperate Republic state would have its own legislatures much like our states do. If you are Sunni and you chose to live in the Shite states you understand the laws of that particular state. This is not rocket science. Model it after our own Republic. The Oil will be under control of the Federal government with revenues shared evently between all the republic states.... At the very minimum the three republic states would have borders surrounding Bahgdad seat of government like our own DC.
If they are so capable, why the subterfuge? Why not come right out and fight the USA toe to toe? (crickets...)
fragementation is the answer. it has no chance as it now construed.
Yep. Osama's favorite news outlet.
