The Republican chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, John W.
Warner of Virginia, warned Thursday that the situation in Iraq was drifting
sideways and said that the United States should consider a change of course
if violence did not diminish soon.

The Bush administration has misled the American people about the level of
violence in Iraq, where there is an attack by insurgent forces every 15
minutes, Bob Woodward, the investigative journalist, said yesterday. In a new
book, State of Denial, Woodward argues that the White House disregarded
warnings from advisers in the autumn of 2003 that it needed thousands more
troops to put down the insurgency. He says the administration continues to deny
the gravity of the situation in Iraq because of Mr Bush's conviction that it
was right to go to war. "It's getting to the point now where there are
800-900 attacks a week. That's more than a hundred a day. That is four an hour
attacking our forces," Woodward told CBS television in an interview to be aired
tomorrow night. The Pentagon's latest quarterly report on Iraq, presented to
Congress and posted on the defence department website on September 1, shows the
number of attacks rising to 792 a week in August. However, that
figure includes attacks on Iraqi civilians, infrastructure and Iraqi police as
well as US and coalition troops. Iraqi civilians suffered the majority of
casualties. Woodward argues the administration routinely glosses over such
news from the ground, as well as intelligence predicting further deterioration
in Iraq, because they collide with Mr Bush's convictions. The White House
failed to act on a memo from Robert Blackwill, then the senior Iraqi adviser on
the National Security Council, calling for 40,000 additional troops in Iraq, he
writes. It is equally resistant to intelligence forecasts of worsening violence
in the year ahead. The National Intelligence Estimate, parts of which were
released this week by Mr Bush, predicted rising violence in Iraq as the
conflict there becomes a "cause célèbre" for the global jihad. "The truth is
that the assessment by intelligence experts is that next year, 2007, is going
to get worse and, in public, you have the president and
you have the Pentagon [saying], 'Oh, no, things are going to get better',"
Woodward told CBS. The vice-president, Dick Cheney, remained similarly
unswayed by mounting evidence that Saddam Hussein never had weapons of mass
destruction, phoning weapons inspectors at 3am to advise on possible locations
of chemical warfare sites. Such criticism is unlikely to dent Mr Bush's
confidence in his decision to go to war. In a speech in Washington yesterday,
he criticised those who say the war exposed Americans to greater risk of an
attack by al-Qaida. "This argument buys into the enemy's propaganda that the
terrorists attack us because we're provoking them," he said. But as he tried
again to rally Americans, the commander of US forces in the volatile Anbar
province was predicting that the insurgency would not end until US forces were
gone. "The insurgency's days will eventually come to an end. And they will come
to an end at the hands of the Iraqis, who, by definition, will
always be perceived as more legitimate than an external force like our own,"
said Colonel Sean MacFarland. In this, his third book on the administration,
Woodward relies on the off-the-record interviews with US officials that have
become his trademark. But unlike his earlier chronicles of the White House,
Woodward did not have access to Mr Bush or Mr Cheney.
