Iraq Reviews > A Civil War Iraq Cant Win
[Middle East Progress] Even if U.S. and Iraqi forces are able to eliminate Al Qaeda in Iraq, there are still three worrisome possibilities of new forms of fighting that could divide Iraq and deny the United States any form of “victory.” One is that the Sunni tribes and militias that have been cooperating with the United States could turn against the central government.
