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.
Profound.
I call it as I see it.
And I see it from a 40-yardline seat.
