The civil non-war

DemoRATS and their propaganda arm aka the MSM are obsessed with the civil non-war in Iraq. They have been talking about it since the first Gulf War as a pretext for not going into Iraq in ’91. They use it as a strawman for how ill prepared we were for post war Iraq.

Now stop and think about that one for a minute. The civil non-war, which has been predicted by the RATS since they learned how to spell Iraq, is used as proof that the Bush administration failed to plan for post war Iraq. Quite amazing that the RATS can get away with using an event that refuses to occur, no matter how much they hope for and talk about it, as proof positive that Bush is an idiot.

Seems to me that if an event so widely and continuously predicted fails to materialize that is an indication of planning not an absences of it. I for one have noted on this page before that a civil war and the division of the country is not necessarily a bad thing - as long as the divisions are not permitted to act as host nations for terrorists. But I’m not openly rooting for that outcome like RATS and the MSM who would then use the occurrence to once again bludgeon the President of the United States, as if he were the real enemy.

But, sadly for the RATS and the MSM, that scenario once again does not appear to be playing itself out. After looking into the abyss, Sunnis have decided that a political solution may be preferable to a civil war they are sure to loose and have ended their boycott of talks to form a national unity government. Large peaceful Sunni and Shiite demonstrations for peace and unity failed to generate the headlines of bomb going off in a shopping area from a craven MSM but are none the less encouraging.

I think the time to start worrying about a civil war in Iraq is when the RATS and MSM start saying there is little possibility of one.
