NIE on Iraq: Situation in Iraq worsening.

February 2-4, 2007 -- On January 31, 2007, WMR reported that Deputy CIA Director Stephen Kappes told a recent meeting of the Association of Former Intelligence Officers that although he could not get into details about the situation in Iraq because of its classified nature, if people knew what was happening on the ground, they would become instantly depressed. Yesterday, the CIA delivered its classified National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) on Iraq to George W. Bush. The report states that the situation in Iraq is spiraling out of control and paints a gloomy picture for the future of the country. Just as significant, the report does not blame Iran for the violence in Iraq, a position being advanced by the Bush neo-cons in order to justify a U.S. military attack on Iran. As with Iraq, the neo-cons are ginning up some phony intelligence from their "think tanks" in the United States and Israel to blame Iran for the civil war in Iraq.
