2006 comments on Iraq On August 3, 2006 Abizaid, in testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee, seemed to have become more pessimistic about the situation on the ground in Iraq.

This was widely regarded as a significant change in his previous estimation of the threat of civil war in Iraq.
