The CIA Director, Michael Hayden and the DIA Director, Lt. gen Michael Maples testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee yesterday. According to them attacks had gone up from 70 a day in January to 180 a day in October. It seems there is an incendiary mix of Iraq nationalists, ex-Baathists, former military, angry Sunnis, jihadists, foriegn fighters, and the Al Qaeda fighting each other and the Shia militias and the Kurd Peshmergas.
So where is the upside for why we are there in the middle?
