Overall, says BBC correspondent Paul Wood, "it is a devastating official assessment of the prospects for a peaceful Iraq, and stands in stark contrast to the public rhetoric".

I would assume there has always been a disjoint between public and private statements from foreign offices. But the Iraqi public/private statements seem particularly far apart, almost as if the two are about different countries or the same country at different time frames.

I think of it as the product of the massive and energetic Bush admin attempt to manage the news.

Any thoughts?
