Iraq has a good bureaucracy and a relatively strong civil society. It would be possible to be organized in a federation. Meanwhile we are doing evryhting in our hands to help/accomodate all the political needs of our friends and allies.

So already ahead of time he was planning to break Iraq up in the way that has been suggested  as a last resort in the last few weeks as a result of the current fighting. Interesting....

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
