Iraq gets ever closer to all-out civil war


Iraq is already in a civil war!

If we wait for Bush or Rice to call it that, we will be waiting until no one is left alive in that country.

FT.com / Comment & analysis / Editorial comment - Iraq gets ever closer to all-out civil war:

When the senior American commander for Iraq and Britain's leading diplomat in Baghdad both conclude the country is subsiding into civil war one should not automatically conclude that the architects of this disastrous adventure have at last been seized with realism.

From the vainglorious moment of President George W. Bush's 'Mission Accomplished' photo-op in May 2003 there can hardly have been a day when the reality in Iraq has not been worse than advertised and marketed by Washington and London - by several orders of magnitude.
