Anthony H. Cordesman, a leading expert on the Middle East and intelligence matters, says three years after the invasion of Iraq, the United States has left a destructive legacy. Cordesman, of the Center on Strategic and International Studies, echoes concerns about civil war erupting and tells cfr.org that U.S. officials must confront Iraq's economic problems more honestly if they want to achieve true progress and secure more aid from Congress.
