MSNBC has announced they are now referring to Iraq as a civil war

1. Does that apply to the parent network too?

Or is MSNBC just trial balloning it for a larger audience?

2. I saw a thread earlier...

...that said NBC, in the person of Matt Lauer, was calling it a civil war.

[cwydro]

6. So maybe it is an NBC decision

wonder if CNN will follow.

[cwydro]

4. Good question

right now they are just interviewing various talking heads to get their opinion on it. Geeez.

10. Yep, here it is:

13. Hey, thanks for the link

I missed that.

3. Hm. If we are forced out, does that turn it into a revolution?

[cwydro]

8. Wouldn't that be ironic?

Perhaps they would have their own July 4th and would celebrate their independence every year.

[uppityperson]

5. that would be good.

7. Can a hasty retreat be far behind?..

Cheney, Chimpy and Condi all dispatching to the "friendly" surrounding nations, preparing for cut and run.
It's going to be ugly.:(

9. CNN to follow suit........

.....it seems

[cwydro]

11. Oh yeah? So fast...

so Fox...hmmmm.

[Waya]

12. Yup....one of their correspondents......

....just said that if Iraq isn't a Civil War then he don't know what is.
Awww, Glorious George ain't gonna like this.......what a shame!

[cwydro]

14. I'm just glad they're finally calling it what it is.

And all courtesy of the Chimp in Chief.:nuke:

[hippiechick]

15. ... a civil war that didn't need to happen ...

... a civil war that was started several thousands of miles away by an agent provocateur named Dimson.


:( Will the world ever forgive us?

16. Pardon me for being negative.

I'm not usually this way, but are the Democrats being set up? Iraq has been in civil war for at least a year and NOW the networks are calling it that? Dems take power and NOW it's a civil war?

[OrangeCountyDemocrat]

17. October '06 - No Civil War.....November '06 - CIVIL WAR!!!

Something about an election past that makes things more clear.

[cwydro]

18. Indeed.
