The post-peak oil, post-housing bust economy is already driving most crazy, and we won't even get to the food riot stage for maybe two more years.

This was up on the AOL mainpage. Not that its anything we dont know but now it seems the military has come out and made it official.


" Military Report Says Iraq Edging Toward Chaos

By MICHAEL R. GORDON, The New York Times

WASHINGTON (Oct. 30) - A classified briefing prepared two weeks ago by the United States Central Command portrays Iraq as edging toward chaos, in a chart that the military is using as a barometer of civil conflict."

This is just the first paragraph of it, they made a chart and everything.

Looks like the military itself has now become a terrorist sympathizing, pinko commi leftist force hell bent on undermining the divine and rightous mission of the neocons ! lol

This will be the same result when in the future some US president decides to attack the US public. Dah, I never figured they would fight back.

Bush is proof that God does not exist; no way such a perfect being as a God would have created such an imperfect ass hole as our current President.

This report probably cost millions to produce, and I could have told them the same thing for $50 and a 750ml of Skoli.

LOL!

Brilliant, Duke - you've found the way to solve the US budget deficit - produce all the govt reports for $50 & booze. I just fear for the cost on your liver Smile

It was probably a PowerPoint slide. And probably part of a routine presentation by someone in MI to the usual group of higher-ups. Thus, no multi-million dollar report, just a couple of days' work by someone who isn't being paid half of what s/he is really worth to the nation.

BTW, people in MI routinely complain about having to produce PowerPoint presentations just to add needless visuals to what would otherwise be plain written reports that were circulated among the need-to-knows.

At least this time the PowerPoint stuff finally reached an audience that really needed to see it.

Yes, every day that passes brings Iraq closer to random violence in the streets... let's hope that never happens.

So if what's going on now isn't chaos, what will that look like? It's just at the "playful roughhousing" stage presently?
