" One in 10 chance perhaps, but save Chile! ... not concerned with risks involved ... $10,000,000 available, more if necessary ... make the economy scream."-- CIA Director Richard Helms, discussing plan to destabilize government of Chile under democractically-elected President Salvador Allende

 

New U.S. intelligence report warns 'victory' not certain in Iraq

A nearly completed high-level U.S. intelligence analysis warns that unresolved ethnic and sectarian tensions in Iraq could unleash a new wave of violence, potentially reversing the major security and political gains achieved over the last year.

The findings seem to cast doubts on McCain's frequent assertions that the United States is "on a path to victory" in Iraq by underscoring the deep uncertainties of the situation despite the 30,000-strong U.S. troop surge for which he was the leading congressional advocate.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

So for all the blood spilled and money spent on this mother of all military misadventures, things could still go south in a heartbeat?

Coupled with Al Maliki's newly aggressive posture on getting Americans out of Iraq as soon as possible and the reality that it doesn't look like US companies are going to get much of Iraq's oil, one has to ask: was this war war worth the terrible cost?

These wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have nearly bankrupted this country. This administration is trillions of dollars in debt, and has no way to make it back to any degree of solvency.
