BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - At least 56 Iraqis died Thursday in violence, including a car bombing
that killed 25 people in the third major attack on a police lockup in three days.


Carnage like this is now part of the daily routine, and yet the Bush administration
assures us that this is not civil war. What does it take? A death toll in five figures?

1. Who knows what it'll take
I imagine it would have to be 500 a day for at least 6 months before those bastards admit it's a civil war.
