Andreas Ramos: "By every possible measure, the situation is a complete castrophe, sliding fast into a debacle." And, according to Andreas, going according to plan. Andreas needs to get his facts in line with his conspiracy theories. If the plan is to keep Iraq in catastrophic condition, then the Bush administration has, on Andreas' account, achieved its goal and content to keep things as they are. If the Bush administration is trying to fix Iraq but botching the job, then the plan can't be to keep Iraq in chaos. Not that conspiracy theorists are known for consistency but a modicum of it would be nice.
