The CIA, the Defense Intelligence Agency and the State Department have all warned President Bush that the United States and is loosing the war in Iraq.
Well, they didn't really say we are "loosing the war." What they said is we "aren't winning the battle against Iraqi insurgents," the people who are trying to derail Iraq's January 30 elections. Since they are the ones we "aren't winning" against, that would seem to mean that they must be "winning" in their efforts to stop the elections. I think.
Nevertheless, Bush Administration officials, who agreed to speak only on condition of anonymity because intelligence estimates are classified, said the battle in Iraq wasn't lost and that successful elections might yet be held next month even though the warnings - including one delivered to George W. Bush by CIA Director Porter Goss - indicated that U.S. forces hadn't been able to stop the insurgents' intimidation of Iraqi voters, candidates and others who want to participate in the elections.
Prediction: Under the barrels of U.S. guns some sort of election will take place in Iraq as scheduled on January 30. U.S. appointed dictator Iyad Allawi will be declared the landslide victor in "the first free elections in Iraq." Then anyone who is opposed will be called a "terrorist and enemy of freedom."
