BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraq's government has lost control of vast areas to powerful local factions and the country is on the verge of collapse and fragmentation, a leading British think-tank said on Thursday.

Contrary to all reports in the media... I have been hoping Bush & Co., would prove everyone wrong. This is not good news.

That is what happens when you try to control an overwhelmingly tribal and faction related culture/society with western-style democracy.  You would think that those in charge would have learned this from invading Afghanistan.

US economy on verge of collapse, warns Democrat LaRouche: http://www.rediff.com/money/2003/may/26larouche.htm
"The US economy is on the verge of collapse due to the parasitical and monetary policies of the war-mongering Bush government. Its foreign exchange rate and monetary system are in the grip of serious crisis that may take the economy into a terminal state if remedial measures are not taken immediately," LaRouche stated."

not only me but thousands of tanks and bradley's.  hundreds of attack helicopter gunships and transport.  if they were accurate in their fact finding, im not supposed to be here.  what they do is get the worst casualtie figure they could get from anybody, doesnt matter how credible the sorce is, then they lead the story with the headline "400 tanks blown up" or what not and then they give the details. then towards the end of the article they would give the american perspective with a paragraph or a couple of lines.  they bring out all sides of the story and you could say that they allow the reader the be the judge, but they are really senstational, just like every other news ENTERTAINMENT corporation.
