Like you, I resisted visiting Cole's site because of my long ago established opinion that his analysis is unreliable. But I went, cuz you made me, and found that his list is reasonable (not without faults) and one with which I can (mostly) agree. Most interesting is my impression that if you step back and take in his list in its entirety you get an image of Iraq and the Middle East that admits it is a complicated place that resists easy and static categorization. As to the 'false but accurate' bit - who but a partisan hack would ever subscribe to that childish view? Hmmm… #8 is pretty darn good but I like #3 best.
