It's an amazing piece of work! I bookmarked it. I found it interesting that in Jan 2003 intellignece was saying Iraq would break down into, wait for it, sectarian violence. The Bush administration are assholes.
I think the timeline is great too. I love the internet because it makes fact checking so much easier when we have resources like this to turn to.
Anyone who claims there was no way to predict that the country would break out in sectarian violence is lying through their teeth. Most of us in the peace community were saying this before the first bombs ever fell on Iraq.
