Centcom Briefing Warns Iraq “Violence at All-Time High”

HeadlineNov 01, 2006

In other Iraq news, the New York Times reports top US military officials are warning Iraq is headed towards chaos. A classified United States Central Command color-code chart shows sectarian violence is headed far away from the side of the chart representing “peace” and much closer to a red zone labeled “chaos.” The briefing cites intelligence describing “urban areas experiencing 'ethnic cleansing' campaigns to consolidate control” and “violence at all-time high, spreading geographically.” The news comes as CBS News reports Iraqi Prime Minister Maliki has told close advisors the situation in Iraq is “nearly out of control.”
