Pandering, like the way Hillary does, will make anyone puke. Not just the liberals.

Haven't we been discussing this before while the Bushies keep ranting about success in Iraq. Grim forecast for Iraq future 10.37, Thu Aug 3 2006 Civil war is the most likely outcome in strife-torn Iraq, according to a leaked memo from Britain's outgoing ambassador in Baghdad. William Patey also predicted the break-up of Iraq along ethnic lines in his confidential memo to ministers. The assessment was contained in Mr Patey's final telegram from Baghdad before he left the Iraqi capital last week. The diplomatic cable was sent to the Prime Minister, Foreign Secretary, Defence Secretary, Leader of the House of Commons, and senior military commanders in both Iraq and the UK. Mr Patey wrote: "The prospect of a low intensity civil war and a de facto division of Iraq is probably more likely at this stage than a successful and substantial transition to a stable democracy. "Even the lowered expectation of President Bush for Iraq - a government that can sustain itself, defend itself and govern itself and is an ally in the war on terror - must remain in doubt." The memo also says that "the position is not hopeless, although it adds Iraq will remain "messy and difficult" for the next five to ten years. itv.com
