BBC's fantasy of a downturn in Iraq

'But that vision could turn out to be a pipe dream - it is not hard to imagine a much grimmer scenario, such as:


-bickering Iraqi politicians fail to rise above their differences and agree vital legislation, which is already months behind schedule and would weld the country together

-as US forces start to thin out to pre-surge levels by July 2008, al-Qaeda begins to make a comeback

-Sunni "local security" forces established by the US, clash with Shia militias, which laid low until the American grip loosened

-Iraq disintegrates into sectarian strife, perhaps descends into unequivocal civil war.'

Now that the bad news from Iraq has dried up to a whispy trickle, the BBC has to fantasize possible future bad news! Too funny. Yeah, and a big sea creature might swim up the Thames and eat London too.
