Bush Just Won't Admit It.

As much as Bush wants to stay in denial about the current condition in Iraq, their government is starting to see things in a different and more horrible light:

A senior official in the Iraqi government has for the first time said Iraq is in a state of civil war.

The deputy interior minister, Hussein Ali Kamal, was speaking a day after suicide bombers killed at least 70 people at a Shiite mosque in Baghdad.

A further 160 were injured when three suicide bombers struck the Bharatha mosque.

Abdullah Haziz Akim, the leader of Iraq’s largest Shiite political grouping told a gathering of his supporters the aim of the attacks was to stop efforts to form a government of national unity.

Of course Bush will continue to deny Iraq being in civil war mealy because they aren’t using cannons and muskets. Through some Confederates and Yankees in the mix and he might start thinking about Iraq differently. Of course now we will hear that the Muslim world’s definition of “civil war” is not the same as ours.
