Civil War in Iraq imminent?
According to the administration, yes.
The fact is that the situation in Iraq is getting worse rather than better and the administration is going to have to do something about it soon or else real pandemonium will break out that makes the current situation look like a tea party.
US army chief General Richard Myers said in an interview that civil war could erupt in Iraq after forthcoming elections.More violence before the elections rather than afterwards. Right. These are the same guys who said that there would be a surge in violence before the "handover of power" at the end of June which would then melt away; we know how that claim panned out.
However, Myers, the chairman of the US joint chiefs of staff, told the daily Publico there was no indication at present this would happen.
"Civil war is still a possibility. We know that there are forces for whom this is an objective," Myers said, adding: "We have not yet any signs that this will happen."
The upcoming elections, pencilled in for January, are seen as a major test of the shattered country's recovery.
