My My My... US Envoy says "civil war"....and blames it on Iraq....not Bush
Envoy: Iraqi Militants Aim for Civil War
By PATRICK QUINN, Associated Press Writer


BAGHDAD, Iraq - America's new ambassador to Iraq expressed horror Tuesday at the violence wracking the country and said Islamic extremists and Saddam Hussein loyalists are trying to start a civil war.


U.S. Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad, who arrived from Afghanistan, said militants are using Iraqis as "cannon fodder" in a quest to dominate the Islamic world.

"I will work with Iraqis and others to break the back of the insurgency," Khalilzad promised on a day that saw more than a dozen gunmen launch an assault on a Baghdad police station, wounding two policemen.

2. But hey... we've been doing everything we could to stabilize
Iraq for the last 15 years. Honest. We've done nothing to scare up unrest or conflict within their borders. Honest. Really.
