What did Hearst say?. "You give me the country and I will make the war?"
Thats wahts going on. Newspapers are making the war.
Either there will be a civil war or there will not be a civil war.
The media desperately wants one, but the do not have the power to cause it, even if they are trying to make Americans believe that it is already happening.
But, if the Iraquis are fighting each other and the US troops leave, then there is a civil war. Until US troops leave, it will not happen.
Of course, the GOP might lose control of Congress if the troops don't leave before 2008.
Tough situation if you are W.
"The media desperately wants one . . "
"The media" or "The MSM" are tossed around like everyone knows what they mean. I don't.
Military one inch needs?
LOL I am far from but hey LOL we can order a swamp spec ops suit to be incognito when hiking down to the mail box.
I got another thick book on fishing eqipment....must be on someones joke list.
Howerever the special ops shirt with a stow for the fire arm was cool.
???????? Did you have your coffee yet? What in the bejesus are you rambling on about?
How many Iraqis did this guy interview to determine that just a few think the "crisis" has been averted? Something for you to think about the next time you decide to wet your pajamas.
"What in the bejesus are you rambling on about?"
LOL, I resisted asking the question you did.
What you have over there is not civil war, but gang warfare. It's more like the Crips and the Bloods rather than all out civil war.
===============================================
Think much of Iraq reads the SF Chronicle?
None so blind as someone who's been in Iraq for over two years? And someone who is posting this reply from beautiful, downtown Baghdad?
Hey, if you'd rather eat what the media spoonfeeds you, knock yourself out.
(Pssst....guys, I think we have another "skewed vision"-ist here. LOL)
Are you aware that Allegra is IN Iraq right now? She works there, she knows the people, she interacts with them each day.
Profound.
I call it as I see it.
And I see it from a 40-yardline seat.
Re: my #9.
Do you get C-SPAN? I'd love to get your reaction to Peters' appearance on WJ. He comes up in 1+20.
Again, thanks for your frontine reporting here.
Unfortunately, we don't get C-SPAN. I wish we did, because I'd like to see it, too. I've read a couple of his reports and we're on the same page.
And I think there are a couple on this thread who may be enlightened by what he as to say. ;-)
Thanks.
Later this afternoon (ET) it should be up via RealPlayer.

"looks like all hell is about to break loose over there."
Or not. This is a report from a newspaper with an agenda. It has the same credibility with me as the polls showing that Bush was going to lose in 2004.
And you believe this, why? (But make sure your explanation of why takes into account the actions of President Kerry, who defeated Bush in 2004 according to media predictions.)
Will Y2K and all that Millenium stuff show up before the Iraqi civil war starts? I'd like to be able to plan my weekend.
