       IMPROVE, GOVERNMENT EFFORTS WILL LIKELY FOCUS ON CONTROLLING THE
       REGION ADJACENT TO THE IRANIAN BORDER AND MAJOR CITIES IN
       NORTHEASTERN IRAQ. THE BORDER AREA BETWEEN IRAQ AND IRAN WILL
       LIKELY BECOME AN INCREASING PROBLEM FOR THE REGIME AS MORE INSURGENT
       FORCES SEEK SANCTUARY IN IRAN TO RE-EQUIP AND REST.     ISH
       DISSIDENTS HAVE GAINED CONTROL OF SIGNIFICANT AREAS OF NORTHERN
       IRAQ. FIGHTING BETWEEN GOVERNMENT AND KURDISH FORCES HAS BEEN HEAVY
       WITH CONTROL OF SOME AREAS CHANGING HANDS OFTEN. THE KURDISH
       INSURGENTS ARE BECOMING MORE ORGANIZED AND INCREASINGLY CONFIDENT.
       INSURGENTS OPERATING IN THE IRAN-IRAQ BORDER AREA ARE ALSO LIKELY TO
       BECOME BETTER ORGANIZED OVER TIME.                         5 USC 522(b)(1)
