Edging Towards Chaos

A classified briefing prepared two weeks ago by the United States Central Command portrays Iraq as edging toward chaos, in a chart that the military is using as a barometer of civil conflict.

Apparently, we're somewhere between "burning your hand on the frying pan" hot and "nuclear fusion" hot on the colorful scale.

Iraq, of course, is on the brink of chaos because of John Kerry, online gambling, gay marriages and flag burning. Unlike mere mortals, Bush never makes any mistakes (that he can remember).


Past Peak summed up the classified report nicely:

Everything the White House has been saying about Iraq is a lie. It's getting worse. Iraqi security forces will never be in a position to "stand up" so US forces can "stand down". The Iraqi "unity government" is a Green Zone fiction. It will all end in chaos. What then?

What then? Well, we could always attack Iran.
