Or not. Turns out you can't even get to the airport in Baghdad anymore. I could link to all of the stories about bombings, mortar fire, beheadings, and creepy killings, but it would take too long. Suffice to say, the general's assessment that the insurgencies back was broken after we leveled Fallujah was in error. Reporters citing sources within the insurgency said that because they were given months of advanced warning of attacks the bulk of the insurgents were gone, leaving just suicide troops.
I'm sure the elections will go ahead. They will be sparse and riddled with fraud. We will put in a new puppet government, then pull out. That government will collapse and the state will turn into something akin to Afghanistan during the Taliban. We will have succeeded in turning the only secular Arab nation into a sharia state.
That would in turn create an instability in the world oil market which Bush could then use to justify opening up the ANWAR. Which was the reason that the oil companies bought him into the presidency in the first place.
