John Murtha was Right, US Troops Are in the Middle of Civil War

[leftchick]

This is where the shit hits the fan just as Rep. Murtha predicted.....

<snip>

The gravest crisis since the U.S. invasion in 2003 threatens Washington's hopes of withdrawing its 136,000 troops from Iraq.

"If there is a civil war in this country it will never end," Defense Minister Saadoun al-Dulaimi, a minority Sunni Muslim in the Shi'ite-led interim government, told a news conference.

"We are ready to fill the streets with armored vehicles."

Iraq's 200,000-plus, U.S.-trained security forces have few tanks but U.S. forces, which routinely patrol Baghdad with heavy armor, are also standing by, commanders said. The loyalties of the untried police and Iraqi army could be tested in any clash with militias from which many were recruited.

1. I'm hoping Murtha holds another press conference and/or

makes the rounds on the MSM again...

2. "threatens Washington's hopes of withdrawing its 136,000 troops..."

The ones making such decisions have no "hopes" or even PLANS to pull the troops out. They're willing to let the troops be SLAUGHTERED than allow their "pride" to be breached. :grr:

3. That, and...

so they don't have to pay for medical care for returning GI's.

If it's evil and wrong, you can bet this Regime will do it.

Bastards.
