Question

Pentagon gives gloomy Iraq report By BURNS, AP Military Writer

WASHINGTON - Sectarian violence is spreading in Iraq and the security problems have become more complex than at any time since the U.S. invasion in 2003, a Pentagon report said Friday.

In a notably gloomy report to Congress, the Pentagon reported that militias have become more entrenched, especially in Baghdad neighborhoods where they are seen as providers of both security and basic social services.

The report described a rising tide of sectarian violence, fed in part by interference from neighboring Iran and Syria and driven by a "Hate for the USA" of religious extremists who oppose the idea of a democratic Iraq.

Death squads targeting mainly Iraqi civilians who are working for the USA, heightening the risk of civil war, the report said.

"Death squads and terrorists are locked in mutually reinforcing cycles of sectarian strife," the report said, adding the USA Military can not stop the strife.

Answer 1

It's Bush's fault and not the whole country. He lied about the WMDs and he sent thousands of Americans to death and even more Iraqis.

Answer 2

WASHINGTON Sep 1, 2006 (AP)— Sectarian violence is spreading in Iraq and the security problems have become more complex than at any time since the U.S. invasion in 2003, a Pentagon report said Friday.

In a notably gloomy report to Congress, the Pentagon reported that illegal militias have become more entrenched, especially in Baghdad neighborhoods where they are seen as providers of both security and basic social services.

The report described a rising tide of sectarian violence, fed in part by interference from neighboring Iran and Syria and driven by a "vocal minority" of religious extremists who oppose the idea of a democratic Iraq.

Death squads targeting mainly Iraqi civilians are a growing problem, heightening the risk of civil war, the report said.

"Death squads and terrorists are locked in mutually reinforcing cycles of sectarian strife," the report said, adding that the Sunni-led insurgency "remains potent and viable" even as it is overshadowed by the sect-on-sect killing.

"Conditions that could lead to civil war exist in Iraq, specifically in and around Baghdad, and concern about civil war within the Iraqi civilian population has increased in recent months," the report said. It is the latest in a series of quarterly reports required by Congress to assess economic, political and security progress.

Iraqi forces were dealing with more violence Friday as officials said a mortar attack on an open-air market in Mahmoudiya, about 20 miles south of Baghdad, killed three people and wounded 12. Elsewhere, two policemen were also killed and authorities said they found the body of a Saddam Hussein-era intelligence officer who had been kidnapped and shot.

The bloodshed capped a week in which hundreds of Iraqis were killed despite a security crackdown that targeted some of Baghdad's most violent neighborhoods.

A growing number of members of Congress are calling for either a shift in the Bush administration's Iraq strategy or a timetable for beginning a substantial withdrawal of American forces. Although administration officials say progress is being made in Iraq, U.S. commanders have increased U.S. troop levels by about 13,000 over the past five weeks, to 140,000, mainly due to increased violence in the Baghdad area.

Answer 3

I would support the war in Iraq because I believe in democracy, but it has been so badly handled. The amount of soldiers are far too low allowing entire areas to be controlled by insurgents. Another issue is that the U.S put the worst people in power, many of the Government officials are former militia owners, and unexperience leaders. This along with the U.S not effectively cutting off the border around Iraq has allowed terrorism to become rampid in Iraq.

Answer 4

You and those like you are exactly why USA won't see wars to the finish. You lack the backbone that other generations had when waging war. I don't think the hundreds of thousands of Iraqi citizens that have been murdered by their so called leader would agree that USA has ruined their country. If you don't have the brass, keep out of the way!

Answer 5

Somehow I think regardless of what anyone says, you wouldn't at least look at it objectively.

To say that the US is responsible for "messing up" the country is a bit silly.

I think it was a combined effort. Don't see too many Iraqi's bending over backwards to help themselves either.

Why is it that the new government isn't telling us to go home and let them take care of their own problems?

Must be the billions of dollars in aid we're piping into their pockets.

Answer 6

George W. Bush lied to the American people. Clear and simple. It turns out that the "mass weapons of destruction" were desert porta-potties on the back of a flatbed truck (Good Morning America)!!! Yes, Saddam Hussein had to go; he was a vicious, ruthless dictator, but now Iraq is in the midst of a civil war and we have no business being there.

Answer 7

It doesn't matter why now we need to clean up our mess before we leave and the only way to do it now is to make nice to everyone we pissed of from France to Russia and ask for their help in bringing everyone to the table.

Answer 8

I don't believe in love except the love of a mother for her children so how can I be a Bush lover ????

Answer 9

Would you rather have the Iraqi's destroying the USA? If the troops weren't over there they would be fighting over here!!

Answer 10

I had thought that a democratic election was a good thing...
