No War is Civil

NBC says Iraq in civil war, White House disagrees

NBC News on Monday branded the Iraq conflict a civil war -- a decision that put it at odds with the White House and that analysts said would increase public disillusionment with the U.S. troop presence there.

NBC, a major U.S. television network, said the Iraqi government's inability to stop spiraling violence between rival factions fit its definition of civil war.

The Bush administration has for months declined to call the violence a civil war -- although the U.S. general overseeing the Iraq operation said in August there was a risk -- and a White House official on Monday disputed NBC's assessment.

O'Reilly sided with the WH - nothing earthshaking or new there. But the question you have to ask yourself is: Civil War or not - isn't it time to go? My answer: You bet it is.
