Oh it may huh? Ya think? Nahhhh, not civil war, no way! O.k., way maybe.

They've goin out of their way to make sure the words "civil war" are always poo pooed and spun into something else, "small pockets of resistance", "a few dead enders", and "outside agitators", and other silly phrases to cover up the obvious civil war.

The problem is not the chaos, but the wording of the chaos.

1. Please, it's just a little sectarian strife
A revival and a few inter-denominational keggers afterwards will patch things up. They're just having trouble getting a minister in there in one piece at the moment. Give them time. Stay the course.

2. Is there a limit of deaths that have to reached before they get honest
I can't believe these guys in uniform nerve to just out and out lie. I expect it from Bush and Donald, but these guys are supposed to honor.

3. Yeah, and the sun MAY rise tomorrow morning -
I mean, come on, there's always a chance that it won't even though it's been doing pretty much the same thing since the beginning of time.
But 6,000 years, plus or minus a few, isn't quite long enough to have me convinced :P

4. Funny how all that "sectarian strife" began about a year and a half ago
About the same time Bush sent Negroponte to Iraq to do "something."

Just a coincidence probably.
