Neat Little World

Meyerson:

Once it's acknowledged that the war in Iraq is a sectarian civil war, however, staying the course has no logic for anyone. Which is why Bush remains determined to dispute any such characterization. "You know, I hear people say, well, civil war this, civil war that," he told reporters at his Crawford, Tex., ranch on Monday. "The Iraqi people decided against civil war when they went to the ballot box. And a unity government is working to respond to the will of the people. And, frankly, it's quite a remarkable achievement on the political front, and the security front is where there's been troubles."

As long as there's an Iraqi government, apparently, there can be no civil war in Iraq. Another problem solved in the neat little world of George Bush.

Our Glorious Leader™ saying, "The Iraqi people decided against civil war when they went to the ballot box" the other day stuck out. Perhaps he should hit the books. In November, 1860, Americans went to the ballot box. Five months later traitorous Southerners fired on Fort Sumter. By Leader's definition, the United States never engaged in a civil war.

It is indeed a neat little world our President lives in.
