Grim forecast challenges Bush

Key findings

* Attacks on Americans by Sunni Iraqis will continue "until the day the US leaves".

* Saddam Hussein forced his officers to read Black Hawk Down - Mark Bowden's account of the shooting down of US helicopters in Mogadishu during America's disastrous intervention in Somalia in the early 1990s - to convince them the US would leave if it suffered major casualties.

* The Iraqi resistance movement is believed to have a war chest of up to US$1 billion - with a further US$3 billion hidden in Syria - and it is paying between US$25 and US$500 for each attack on US forces.

* Suicide bombings are largely carried out by foreigners, but 95 per cent of the threat is from Saddam loyalists.
