Juan Cole over at Informed Comment has a post up today detailing just how badly the US has fucked up in Iraq.

Although it’s very rarely mentioned in the media, it’s pretty clear that Iraq has descended into civil war for a while now and with the US now firing up the bullshit machine aimed at Iran, it’s hard to see how the world is going to get any safer in the next decade or so.

Iran’s only hope is that Iraq stays screwed up enough to keep US troops booged down there long enough for Bush & the Fuckwits to get voted out of office. Hopefully the fact that his approval rating is among the lowest in history, and still trending down, means that the Republicans will get a hiding the next time out. We can only hope…
