I think it's pretty obvious that Iraq is in a civil war, and the government is unwilling or unable to control the warring factions. The most terrifying thing to me is that militias/death squads seem to have infiltrated key government agencies such as the Army and the police and even the hospitals, and are using them to kill their enemies. Publicly, the Bushies say all is well-- but this memo shows that, privately, they believe otherwise. How long until Iraq/Baghdad becomes really out of control? Will we be able to get our troops out as all hell breaks loose?
