The National Intelligence Council recently provided President Bush an estimate of the security situation in Iraq. In the report, they provided very disturbing scenarios that are quite possible. The best case they offered, based on the current economic and political situation, is a "tenuous stability." The worst case was all out civil war between Shiite, Sunni, and Kurds.

The situation is so bad that even Republican Senators, notably Sen. Richard Lugar (R-IN) and Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-NE), are speaking out about how much worse things are getting in Iraq and how the Administration is trying to cover it up.
