A WAR MOST UNCIVIL — by Steve Nadis
Iraq may be undergoing an insurgent rebellion, George Bush says, but it’s not “civil war”–this from an administration that denied the U.S. has “tortured” Iraqi prisoners and terror suspects. In the latter case, the denials made sense because we were accused of morally indefensible acts. But why does Bush reject the term “civil war” to describe the sectarian violence and ethnic infighting in Iraq? The crux of his argument is that the behavior of the insurgents–based on definitions of civility provided by chief Republican fathead, William Bennett–is anything but “civil.” In fact, Bush would go so far as to say their conduct has been positively uncivil. Where is Miss Manners when we need her?

Bush and Cheney need to get over to Baghdad and do a tour to show us how truly wonderful things are over there. Enough of these media lies, time for these men of courage to join our troops to show us the good news in Iraq.
Should this be regarded as another “Bushism”?
Aren’t they EVER going to repair that darn autocue in the White House?
