 Two Grim Assessments of Iraq’s FuturePosted on Mar 7, 2006America’s top envoy to Iraq: “The possibility is there” for sectarian violence to lead to civil war and all-out war in the region. A BBC reporter in Baghdad: “It gives me no pleasure today to forecast further doom and gloom here in Iraq. But, as in Iran in 1978, the facts on the street contradict the assertions of the generals, the politicians and the diplomats.” Advertisement Previous item: Dubai May Partner With U.S. Firm—Halliburton’s Name Pops Up Next item: Military Blocking Progressive Websites New and Improved CommentsIf you have trouble leaving a comment, review this help page.

Read “Former NSA Chief: Vietnam Is Like Iraq, US Needs To Get Out…” by retired General William E. Odom on HuffingtonPost.com. and written for http://www.niemanwatchdog.org and published March 8.
“Those who say Iraq is nothing like Vietnam have another guess coming, says retired Gen. William Odom. He lists striking similarities and asserts that only after it pulls out of Iraq can the U.S. hope for international support to deal with anti-Western forces.”

All that is left is for the last soldier to die ... and the taking of that last iconic photograph of defeat.
Remember the one of the helicopter taking people of the roof of our embassy in Saigon, Vietnam?
