U.S. headed for disaster when efforts in Iraq collapse
We may now be only weeks away from a complete collapse of the Iraqi army and the withdrawal of British troops from Iraq in the face of overwhelming public pressure on Tony Blair.
That is a realistic projection based on the reports of two Washington Post reporters, whose dispatches from inside Iraqi Army units and U.S. units assigned to train and work with the Iraqi military have just been published.
Interviews by the Post reporters show that many U.S. and Iraqi troops no longer know what they are fighting for.
