    US Gen. Abizaid says civil war possible in Iraq

    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The head of the U.S. Central Command
    on Thursday said sectarian violence in Baghdad was as bad as
    he has ever seen and could lead to a civil war.

    "Sectarian violence probably is as bad as I've seen it, in
    Baghdad in particular," Army Gen. John Abizaid told the
    Senate Armed Services Committee. "If not stopped, it is
    possible that Iraq could move toward civil war."

    Things are looking pretty grim right now.


    How is it not already a civil war?

    hook. line. sinker.

    I hasten to add...I've heard many similar comments from my soon-to-be Father-in-law.

    saying.

    what is the definition of "civil war" if not citizens of the same country, divided along sectarian lines, killing each other at a rate of about 100 a day?

    i'd really like to hear Rumsfeld explain what has to happen before this becomes a "civil war."

    The fact that they don't already see that it is a civil war shows how far behind the fucking ball the continue to dwell.

    i don't want to hear Rumsfeld explain anything ever again.
