Not to mention you didn't answer the question: What is the difference between what we see now in Iraq and a civil war? Although I have to admit your answer here was a lot more articulate than your answer about tribal sovereignty.

That's why people like him, he is a constant. So are flies on shit. If he can hold back the tide for two more years, keep from being impeached, keep from admitting failure..... he will be able to claim a successful presidency until the day he dies. Of course there will be the naysayers, the ones who will find fault in his course of performance, and they will be an overwhelming majority, but he and his braindead supporters can blame the next administration for the surge in violence and hate against Americans.
