Meanwhile, back at the ranch - "Ex-top envoy calls Iraqi government a failure"
"Former ambassador says country ‘falling apart,’ blames ministers, U.S."
Lessee - no reconcilliation, rampant corruption, secessionist Kurds inviting Turkish invasion, the brain drain almost complete, segregation, no one safe. And key Iraqi figures are willing to admit the blatant truth.
Doesn't sound like stability or democracy to me. However you paint, spin, bullshit or deny matters this old wreck it's still an old wreck. Kill a few more Iraqis and it will still be an old wreck. Kill a lot more Iraqis, and it will still be an old wreck. Unfortunately Bush's only option is to kill more and more Iraqis, calling it progress.
