Civil War

Happy Monday.

Hey, call me an alarmist, but can't we call a spade a spade?

On Meet the Press Joe Biden told Tim Russert that Iraq has moved from insurgency to sectarian violence.

With the supposedly cracked-down upon Basra blowing up this weekend (28 dead), masked gunmen in Baghdad killing 21 students, the Baghdad morgue hitting an all-time high of 1400 bodies in May, and another one of our own soldiers killed in the Anbar Province on Saturday, what would you call it?

For a little balance, here's more evidence of Saddam Hussain's inhumanity, maybe nothing we didn't know before, but worth remembering as the third or fourth or fifth tier reason we went into the war, moved up in the queue after it was discovered that the first two or three, the ones BushCheneyCo sold us on, weren't really the reasons.

If it was all worth it, why is this man laughing?

Arianna has it right about the BushCheneyCo culture of death and links to news sources on the hell they've wrought, coming to a head in Afghanistan now as well.

Meanwhile, in an alternative universe, reason prevails and An Inconvenient Truth his #9 on the weekend box office charts despite playing in only 77 theaters nationwide.
