OFFICIALS: NO QUICK FIX TO IRAQ PROBLEMS "Three senior members of the coalition military and civilian authorities in Iraq offered no quick fixes Saturday to ongoing security and power concerns in the country. The officials, speaking to the media on condition their names not be used, insisted that both situations are getting better. But they admitted there’s still improvement to be made."

THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM IN IRAQ Saddam Hussein in particular, and the Baath Party he led in general, were quite good at playing the local and Western media. Now out of power, captured documents and prisoner interrogations make it clear that Baath had a "worst case" plan. If Baath lost power, the Sunni Arabs who comprise most of the Baath Party, would engage in economic sabotage to increase popular unrest. Attacks on coalition troops, encouraged by cash bounties, would encourage the coalition to engage in reprisal measures that would further increase hatred for the foreigners.
