Saudi Minister Warns U.S. Iraq May Face Disintegration
By JOEL BRINKLEY

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22 - Prince Saud al-Faisal, the Saudi foreign minister, said Thursday that he had been warning the Bush administration in recent days that Iraq was hurtling toward disintegration, a development that he said could drag the region into war.

"There is no dynamic now pulling the nation together," he said in a meeting with reporters at the Saudi Embassy here. "All the dynamics are pulling the country apart." He said he was so concerned that he was carrying this message "to everyone who will listen" in the Bush administration.

...

But in an appearance at the Pentagon on Thursday, President Bush, while once again expressing long-term optimism, warned that the bloodshed in Iraq was likely to increase in the coming weeks.

"Today, our commanders made it clear," he said after a meeting on Iraq with senior military officers, "as Iraqis prepare to vote on their constitution in October and elect a permanent government in December, we must be prepared for more violence."

American commanders have repeatedly warned that insurgents would try to disrupt the voting, as they did before legislative elections in January.

I do believe the Bush boy is incapable of understanding what is happening in Iraq. As Saud says, he seems incapable of thinking of Sunnis as anything but "Baathist criminals." Soon he will be thinking of all Shiites as "Sadr-ist criminals."

Bush, if you're listening and are capable of allowing anything to sink into the morass that is your brain: the violence in Iraq is not meant to piss on your puny little parade. The "election" you're so eagerly awaiting will not settle the violence, any more than Katrina settled the levee problem in New Orleans.

So we know Bush is an idiot. Are the rest of them also? Are they group-thinking themselves into their usual state of unpreparedness for reality? Are they going to prove all conspiracy theorists wrong in a single blow, when Iraq suddenly, shamefully dissolves before our eyes? What design can they possibly be working on, now that the Bushists have been proved utterly incompetent and can't be re-"elected" anyway, and there is not one single popularly appealing Republican anywhere to take over the mess the Bushists will leave behind (and what sane Republican--if there is such a thing--would want such a job anyway)?

One conspiracy theory remains plausible: They *want* Iraq to dissolve so they can spread the chaos to Iran and Syria. But think, conspiracy theorists, how well Bush's New Deal for New Orleans is going over with Republicans. Are they really going to want a Great Society for Arabs program on top of it? What is that going to get them, besides kicked out of power for indenturing the US to China?
