The Dawn of Civil War

This is the next Iraqi surprise for the Bush administration. Signs and incidents of interfaith and ethnic conflict are occurring all over Iraq. Bush’s impotence for providing stability in Iraq will lead to a civil war. Without massive input of International troops it may well be that Bush cannot forestall what has been all-along the potential outcome of his invasion. When our troops are caught in an all-out civil war and with the potential intervention of Syria, Turkey and Iran Bush and his minions will plead absence of good intelligence for the situation. As C Rice said this weekend, “we just didn’t know what to expect in Iraq.”

1. "We didn't know what to expect in Iraq."

So much for the quality of the intelligence the regime is getting from the George W. Bush CIA headquarters. Yes, things in Iraq are descending even further into chaos.

Condi Rice has lost all credibility

ever since the memo came up that contradicted her lie on tv about never recieving intelligence about mistakes in the State of the Union address.

3. I'm sorry, but "We didn't know" isn't going to cut it

How come, under Clinton, we had no terrorists flying planes into buildings, no hopeless neverending wars? Because he was the kind of president Who would read and listen to the intelligence!! I tell ya, the scariest thing about these neocons is that they actually believe all that bullshit they are telling us.

5. you left out Pakistan- they're going to help too!

Civil war is a distinct possibility, IMO. What a mess. I keep thinking about the Iraqi family interviewed before the war. A cameraman followed them around their home and the father (a prof at the university in Baghdad) showed him the food they'd stashed, and where he was going to keep his daughter's insulin cool. Another daughter was a student at university. I think about them and wonder if they made it and how they are doing. Does she have enough insulin, did they survive all the bombing, are they afraid to go outside? Way too many people in this world without a safe place to live, way too many wandering without any home at all. Civil war would be horrible for these people. And dubya sleeps easy at night in the Lincoln bedroom. There is no justice.
