About that "Civil War" ...
Let's recount my personal history ...
I don't claim to be "gifted", but I'm no idiot, and I can see through most BS when I see it.
Then, I spent a year in Iraq.
It didn't diminish anything I said before, but it did give me a greater appreciation for what was going on there.
The "naysayers" have been predicting (do a search on ANY news site back to before the beginning of the war) a civil war. The simple fact of the matter is that it has not happened.
Listen/read to the news. Listen/read to EVERYTHING they say, and everything they don't say.
Finally, read, or re-read, if you followed the link to begin with, the article this is all about.
The Lieutenant Colonel(LTC) who wrote it, from Baghdad, in my experience, is right.
Then again, what do I know?
As of this date, this Iraq War has been going on since 2003, right? Three years.
I spent a year there.
One third of that time.
