Let it all play out eh?... also from the report: "The US Armed Forces cannot sustain the current deployment rate. We will leave the nation at risk to other threats from new hostile actors if we shatter the capabilities of our undersized and under-resourced Army, Marine, and special operations forces." pg 7

Another favorite quote that O'Reilly leaves off "In summary, the US Armed Forces are in a position of strategic peril."

Ok, that is from the last page of the report.... to make this a little more fair and balanced the report starts out with "Iraq is ripped by a low grade civil war which has worsened to catastrophic levels with as many as 3000 citizens murdered per month. The population is in despair. Life in many of the urban areas is now desperate."

Remember Philip Carroll, the former CEO of Shell Oil in the US was appointed to control of Iraq's oil production for the US government right after the invasion: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/newsnight/4354269.stm
