15. Civil war has been imminent |
|
for some time. But I only figured it out on Sunday.
Anyway, can Wolfowitz account for his whereabouts?
I have no doubt that the suicide bombings Sunday and this are both neocon jobs.
I'm at the point where I don't even look for evidence anymore.

If he were to be assassinated now, civil war would follow within 48 hrs, with our soldiers being the "monkeys in the middle."

11. Well, the governing council, especially Chalabi, would gain... |
|

14. May stiffen his resolve. |
|
Who could this have been? He had enemies on all sides actually. I think though that this may increase his relative combativeness toward US hegemony.
