Iraq Disintegrating

One of America's closest allies in the Middle East is telling us that Iraq is disintegrating and may engulf the entire region in war. It doesn't look like the administration is listening. Here are the lead paragraphs from an article in today's New York Times:

Prince Saud al-Faisal, the Saudi foreign minister, said Thursday that he had been warning the Bush administration in recent days that Iraq was hurtling toward disintegration, a development that he said could drag the region into war.

"There is no dynamic now pulling the nation together," he said in a meeting with reporters at the Saudi Embassy here. "All the dynamics are pulling the country apart." He said he was so concerned that he was carrying this message "to everyone who will listen" in the Bush administration.

When is this administration ever going to face reality?
