Iraq After the Election: Meeting the Challenges of 2010
Cordesman, Anthony H.; Kocharlakota, Vivek
Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), July 5, 2010, online edition, 114p (PDF)
"It is one of the great ironies of the Iraq War that the primary threat to Iraqi security and stability is now the lack of unity among its democratically elected politicians, not its insurgents or its sectarian and ethnic tensions. Although these latter threats remain real and immediate, Iraq now faces its greatest single threat from the lack of unity and personal ambitions of its own leaders."
Anthony H. Cordesman holds the Arleigh A. Burke Chair in Strategy at CSIS and also acts as a national security analyst for ABC News. He is a recipient of the Department of Defense Distinguished Service Medal.
