Street Battle in Baghdad Smacks of Open Civil War, Kerry Was Right
April 18th, 2006 @ 4:52 pm

Ignore the street battle in Baghdad, that Reuters reports today “smacks of open civil war,” because the Bush administration refuses to admit that Iraq has sunken into a civil war and our troops are stuck smack dab in the middle of it.

Snipers held rooftop positions as masked Sunni Arab insurgents said they were gearing up for another open street battle with pro-government Shi’ite militiamen in Baghdad’s Adhamiya district on Tuesday.

A U.K. news source reports that the situation is so disastrous, that the U.S. military actually “planning a “second liberation of Baghdad” to be carried out with the Iraqi army when a new government is installed.” Talk about missions not accomplished… “President George W Bush and Donald Rumsfeld, the defence secretary, are under intense pressure to prove to the American public that Iraq is not slipping into anarchy and civil war.”

Too late… John Kerry was right, when he said in his NY Times OP/ED on April 5, “Now we find our troops in the middle of an escalating civil war.” When is the Bush administration going to admit they have failed their mission, they have failed our troops, they have misled the American public and it’s time to leave Iraq, as John Kerry has stated.

3. Civil War

And it didn't take the Sunnis and Shiites wearing blue and grey uniforms and carrying Springfield rifles for Kerry to figure it out, either. Too bad the Bush regime will never admit it. :(

9. That's the problem

Bush is looking for the official civil war uniforms - with out them he doesn't get it.
