As his support ebbs and the Great Unraveling begins, what is in store for
Iraq and the wider Middle East? If this man had an ounce of sense, he will withdraw our troops,help the Iraqi people achieve whatever aspirations they have, restore a normal life they deserve and preserve whatever semblance of dignity we have left.But I am not holding my breath.If he remains true to his nature, he will lash out at Liberals through his paid lackeys Rush, Hannity and so on.He will try to intimidate Congress.I wouldn't be surprised to see a resurgence of Anthrax attacks.And, yes, he will try to expand the war into Syria and Iran.

The suffering both in the Middle East and here at home will only increase.

4. Not the Eiffel Tower
Remember om March 11, 2004, the Spaniards correctly identified Al CIAda as being responsible for their carnage and went ahead and threw Aznar out of office a few days later.

The French are no less sophisticated as to who is actually behind these attacks. There was a best-selling book about MIHOP right after 9-11 by a Frenchman. I don't know if it's ever even been published in English.

5. Iraq has been an artificially created country since
Britain drew the map. There is no single Iraq, but 3 separate. Unfortunately for us, in the west, those Iraqi's that are most like us, the Sunni have been weakened to the point that they cannot hold the other 2 factions into a united Iraq.

Without the presence of a foreign military power, Iraq will descend into civil war. The the fundamentalist Shiites will peel-off a large chunk of eastern Iraq and a lot of the oil fields, the Kurds will peel-off a huge chunk of the western part.

The central part will stand with the more or less pro-western viewpoint, but be left will little resources to support the population there.

It doesn't stop with Iraq though. We can look for Saudi to collapse also as the Shiites upstage the moderate Saud family. Also the Kurds, will take a portion of Turkey, Iran and possibly areas around the Caspian/Black Sea (old USSR).

These neocons have really screwed the pooch this time. This is typical for Republicans, fucking morons.

7. All In The Region That Holds 2/3's Of The Worlds Remaining Oil
reserves. Not to mention most of the remaining natural gas.

If the Civil War does spread to Saudi Arabia, the collapse of the US will follow.

Screwed the pooch, big time.

8. That is israel's objective from my understanding
The formation of ethnic countries would serve the israeli strategic
objectives, as it would put pressure on other governments to break up
and provide a destabilizing influence on turkey, iran, syria and
saudi arabia to break up themselves... and as all of them have terrible
track records of repression, it seems like the call for "self determination"
that woodrow wilson made in europe before WW1.
