Internal Government Report Concludes Iraq is F***ked Up!
Duh! Who in their right mind believes the sunny reports chimperor gives weekly? And this report was done before the Samarra Mosque bombing....

NEW YORK (AFP) - An internal US government report rates the stability of six of Iraq's 18 provinces as "serious" and another as "critical," it was reported.

The report shows the country partitioning along ethnic and religious lines, and warns of sectarian and ethnic friction even in areas US officials had portrayed as peaceful, the The New York Times reported on its website.

The daily obtained the report from "a government official in Washington who said the confidential assessment provided a more realistic gauge of stability in Iraq than the recent portrayals be senior military officers," the Times wrote.

The 10-page document was written by US diplomatic and military officials in Baghdad and dated January 31, 2006 -- three weeks before the bombing of a Shiite shrine in Samarra set off waves of sectarian violence.
