Civil War in Iraq? A Boots on the Ground perspective

Within the last few hours I've come across a number of blogs that have poseted on this "Iraq Civil War" issue from Iraq. While Treasures of Baghdad sees the possibility of Iraq turning into Lebanon, over at 24 Steps to Liberty, the author takes a long look at what America and the world is not hearing about what the responses to the severe bombings have been. Over at The Fourth Rail, Bill Roggio lays out why Iraq isn't headed toward a civil war.

There are some great ideas here that are in conflict, which allows for someone to make a fair and balanced assessment. I for one know that there are things we're not being told, because that's how the MSM likes to do things in relation to Iraq; paint a picture that is dark and bleak, making the administration look bad. I still maintain that such actions not only hurt our troops, but also hurt the image that America is trying to project to those that live in Iraq and the rest of the Middle East region.
