Imagine the Democrats coming to power in Congress. Suddenly, Iraq erupts into an all-out Civil War. It would look bad. It could potentially spell disaster for Democrats and reflect on liberals, who have taken much of the credit for the Nov 7. elections, even though most candidates elected were Conservative-Moderate Dems.
On the other hand, if Iraq is a "civil war" in November or December, then Democrats can pass off the blame on the previous administration much easier.
That is why one month before Democrats take control, the media is screaming "civil war", despite alot of reasons to suggest that Iraq is still at a "Crossroads" (Kofi Annan's phrase). Iraq really seems to be in an insurgency at this point and I couldn't figure out for the life of me what had so drastically changed to change "insurgency" to "civil war". (I keep careful track of alot of the Iraq issue).
It's kind of sad, really. Because rather than have the faith and conviction that we can succeed in Iraq, liberal Democrats seem to already be taking the position that America failed in Iraq. Rather than being responsible and accountable, these sniverals have decided to throw dirt in the face of their own country's elected leader and its representatives.
