US headed for disaster when efforts in Iraq collapse
Makin' progress?
We may now be only weeks away from a complete collapse of the Iraqi army and the withdrawal of British troops from Iraq in the face of overwhelming public pressure on Tony Blair.
Since President WarMonkey’s declaration that "major combat operations are over," three weeks or so after the assault on Baghdad, there has been one disingenuous statement after another from the White House, the State Department and the Pentagon.
Successive rationales for the war - finding Saddam’s cache of weapons of mass destruction, heading off an imminent threat to Israel and even to our own country, capturing Saddam and ending his bloody dictatorial reign, establishing democracy in Iraq - have been trotted out, and found to be seriously flawed or even outright wrong.
Many US and Iraqi troops no longer know what they are fighting for.

Why do the US and Iraqi troops hate America? They're enabling the terrists!
