http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/02/01/AR2007020101152.html"A long-awaited National Intelligence Estimate on Iraq, presented to President Bush by the intelligence community yesterday, outlines an increasingly perilous situation in which the United States has little control and there is a strong possibility of further deterioration, according to sources familiar with the document.
"In a discussion of whether Iraq has reached a state of civil war, the 90-page classified NIE comes to no conclusion and holds out prospects of improvement. But it couches glimmers of optimism in deep uncertainty about whether the Iraqi leaders will be able to transcend sectarian interests and fight against extremists, establish effective national institutions and end rampant corruption.
"The document emphasizes that although al-Qaeda activities in Iraq remain a problem, they have been surpassed by Iraqi-on-Iraqi violence as the primary source of conflict and the most immediate threat to U.S. goals."

I hope the Rush and O'Reilly and Shawn Hannity attack these liberal CIA and Department of Defense TRAITORS who want to aid and abet the TERRORISTS with the same vigor and venom that they did for the LIEberal groups that have been saying the exact same thing for four years now.
These AL QAEDA LOVING intelligence agents just want to make our President look bad for personal gain. They WANT THE TERRORISTS TO WIN just so their side can seize political power.
These hippies-in-uniform want AMERICAN SOLDIERS TO DIE, they CHEER every time an IED goes off, because they know it hurts our Commander-in-Chief.
If it were up to these intelligence and military HATE AMERICA FIRSTERS, we'd all be wearing burkahs and praying facing Mecca by now.
I hope these CIA and military intelligence agents DON'T SPIT ON THE TROOPS and BURN THE AMERICAN FLAG this time like they always do.
What do intelligence agents know, anyway? It's not like it's their job to collect information and make threat assessments or anything.
America is not losing in Iraq, so stop saying that!
