An interesting analysis of the "end game" for Iraq can be found here. The analysis isn't necessarily flattering to the Bush Administration but it makes for interesting reading. For instance:
Washington has gotten whatever it’s going to get out of the Iraqi campaign, and is refocusing on its core security concerns, Al Qaida and nuclear proliferation. The answer to both issues lies in Pakistan. The key allies are Israel and India.
The situation in Iraq is still far from stable. However what we are seeing is a transformation from an insurrection primarily aimed against US troops to the beginnings of the battle for control of post US Iraq.
The publication featuring this analysis is called Maariv International. It's a newspaper in Israel with an interesting global perspective. I'm putting them on my list of "sources" - I think they're going to have some interesting stuff. Read the rest of it here.
