I think it's more fair to now say that we truly have no idea what the hell is going on in Iraq. Whether the situation be good, bad, or simply "meh." (The most likely scenario, by the way.)

And why this lack of information? Because even the goddamn military, state department, defensee department, Iraqi Authorities don't know. Bureaucracy at "work."

In a somewhat related story...

A supposedly senior aide to Al Zarqawi has been captured. I'm officially done predicting the war's progress, but I'll certainly predict that we'll have Zarqawi by the end of the summer. And while many call for his head, I'm fairly certain that we need to get this guy alive and keep him alive.
