CIA Warns Possible Iraq Civil War

Fri Jan 23, 2004 at 06:16:10 AM PDT

I wonder how this will affect the election:

CIA officers in Iraq are warning that the country may be on a path to civil war, current and former U.S. officials said Wednesday, starkly contradicting the upbeat assessment that President Bush gave in his State of the Union address.

The CIA officers' bleak assessment was delivered verbally to Washington this week, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the classified information involved.

Dean consistently predicted problems with the postwar occupation of Iraq.  Will this news bolster his case, that we should not have gone to war with Iraq?  Will it harm the ones who signed the war resolution?
