And today's word is ... tenuous

According to the BBC:
"US officials have acknowledged the existence of a secret intelligence report on Iraq offering gloomy predictions for the country's future. The report - a compilation of assessments by intelligence agencies - puts forward three possible scenarios in Iraq by the end of 2005. They range from what the report calls tenuous stability to political fragmentation and civil war. It was prepared for President Bush before a recent escalation of violence. "
