The Terrible Mess of Iraq and Its Grim Prognosis

Generals testified before the Senate today that Iraq is at its worst and that civil war is likely; Brit's ambassador agrees that civil war is likely (while many believe Iraq has long since entered a civil war). Also, the Christian Science Monitor has more on a leaked memo that spells out civil war in the land where civilization was born; the memo also spells out the possible division of Iraq into different religious territories (a sad way to end things, IMHO).

Remember this when the GOP decides to follow Newt Gingrich and the neocons' advice to go after Iran and Syria. By comparison, Iraq will seem like a cake walk.
