2003 intelligence reports predicted violence in Iraq

Wow, Gee....What can a reasonable person think about this?

They must have wanted the mess that is currently Iraq.

Why would anyone want a long drawn out struggle, during which hundreds of thousands of innocent people would die or be maimed?

Could it be WAR PROFITEERING? How about the extra added bonus of draining the treasury and running up debt, as far as the eye can see? Buh-bye "entitlements!"

The Raw Story | 2003 intelligence reports predicted violence in Iraq:

Two intelligence assessments from January 2003 predicted that the overthrow of Saddam Hussein and subsequent U.S. occupation of Iraq could lead to internal violence and provide a boost to Islamic extremists and terrorists in the region, according to congressional sources and former intelligence officials familiar with the prewar studies,' reports the Washington Post.

In 'Principal Challenges in Post-Saddam Iraq' and 'Regional Consequences of Regime Change in Iraq,' the National Intelligence Council predicted that Iraq would split apart and there would be a strong possibility of sectarian violence. The reports also predicted that elements of Saddam Hussein's military could join with extremists.

Sources tell the Post that the reports even mention the use of 'guerrilla warfare' against US troops.
