Re-spelling the war

This is beyond absurd. Now the Bush administration is huffing and puffing about whether the war in Iraq is a civil war or not.

What I am waiting for is the realization that the Bush administration had no plan for either a civil war or any large scale resistance of any kind.

It really does not matter what you call it because the Bush team did all the same amount of preparations for all eventualities: nothing. The whole thing about “this is not a civil war” is just a diversion from that simple fact.
