From Deutsche Welle:
A new report by the Pentagon warns that Iraq is in danger of becoming a failed state as violence reaches an all-time high. The report says that in the period from August to November the average number of weekly attacks increased by over one quarter compared to the months before. The Pentagon says the situation is most volatile in Baghdad and the western Anbar province and claims that the Iraqi government is incapable of resolving the conflict. The report was released shortly after Robert Gates was sworn in as the new US secretary of defence. At his ceremony on Monday, Gates warned that failure in Iraq would come back to haunt Americans for decades to come.
