Iraqi Civil War?:
The New York Times started a report as to El Qaeda's intention to start a civil war in Iraq. The report is now being profiled in several news media. The problem with the report is it originates with the Americans. As a result of the misinformation that has recently come out of the Americans their credibility is virtually zero. While the report might very well be accurate, many countries throughout the world might very well not believe a word of it. In the White House's current position, they have a strong motivation to find something, anything, to justify their actions to date. It certainly would not be the first time they have trumped up unsubstantiated claims about the current status in Iraq. Could this be grounds for not handing over control of Iraq to their own people? There is still a considerable amount of money in oil available to whomever is administering the country. George has led his country into one hell of a mess. It is hard to imagine Bush being able to get the U.S. out of Iraq without leaving a disaster in his wake, much as the Americans have done in virtually every country where they have intervened in the past.
