American midterm elections, all about Iraq

The bipartisan Iraq Study Group, appointed by the US Congress and co-chaired by former Secretary of State James Baker to examine alternative solutions to the growing Iraqi nightmare, will not reveal its findings and recommendations until next January. Leaks made to the media predict that the very gloomy report could make extraordinary recommendations, including phased withdrawal, and diplomatically engaging Iran and Syria, among other options. But even with such a dramatic shift in approach, Baker warns "there's no magic bullet for the situation in Iraq. It's very, very difficult." President Bush meanwhile continues to wow his ardent followers with tired speeches of wars that must be won, democracies that must be achieved and is still industriously infusing his preverbal 'cut and run' mantras, knowing deep inside that his dream of a clean Iraq victory is long gone.

At the time of the drafting of this article, al-Sadr militants seem to be controlling the streets in Amara, south of Baghdad, ready to 'liberate' other cities, while British forces are preparing a grim return to a city they victoriously handed over to the Iraqi police. America's allies, the militias and their deaths squads, are increasingly determined to fight the 'occupiers'; as if the Iraq nightmare could possibly get any more frightening.
