He's educated enough to understand that there are multiple definitions of what "is" is, so it follows that he should know about the phrase, "civil war". I happen to partially agree with him, but to just go public to say it is a civil war is not helpful. But being helpful is not his intention. Seems to me he's working the politics in the domestic arena. Thanks Bill. This "civil war" is much different than other civil wars we've studied about, and the criteria Bill says it meets, would be interesting to find out. Maybe someday the press will not be in such a frantic hurry, and ask those types of questions. Don't hold your breath. It's a sound bite industry. It's like a civil war because of the militias. And some of the key militias are being supported by Iraq's neighbors. I suspect that this support is the dominant driving force in the violence in Iraq, that which isn't perpetrated by al Qaeda. One of those supporters is Hezbollah, which is a puppet of the Ayatollah. So, to call this struggle a civil war is not exactly accurate, is it? Maybe it would be better to avoid the semantics and actually discuss what to do about Iraq's neighbors, who are the aggressors in this fight. We’ll have to take Clinton’s word for it.
