Todays reality-at the very least Iraqi civil war is imminent?

We closed our conversations about Iraq in 2005 with the declaration the President Bush was wrongly and prematurely calling the parliamentary elections a success when it we nothing more than an election under gunpoint and total lockdown. We knew the real success or failure of the election would be after security was back down to the normal high. We closed out 2005 with increasing violence bringing to light the true results of the election.
With all of the President’s recently announced so called successes in Iraq you have to continue to think about this. With our hopefully improved defenses against IED’s. With our increased standing up of capable Iraqi defense units. With our continuing joint U.S. Iraqi operations designed to disrupt and hopefully quell various terrorist capabilities. Now we have the recent announcement that Iraq’s largest oil refinery is slated to close because of security concerns. This will only serve to further cripple Iraq and seal their fate of total anarchy set into motion by President Bush.
With these supposed successes and supposed successful steps towards democracy and in the face of decreasing allied troop support in Iraq we have announced a troop draw down of our own. Our troops have fought valiantly and have earned this. We all want that but the facts continue to point towards the failure of President Bush’s ill advised plans and insistence on staying the wrong course. We have opened 2006 with still increasing violence, murders, car bombings, and the explosions getting increasingly horrific and deadly. We have had more than 130 murdered Iraqi’s today and 11 U.S. soldiers from multitudes of bombings and murders of every sort imaginable throughout Iraq.
Since the beginning of President Bush’s created Iraq war and necessary war on terrorism we have been calling for a civil war. President Bush knew that at the least that was one of the consequences of attacking Iraq before ha ignored all good advice against attacking and did so anyway. With the results as we called them, coming to fruition it looks like we were right. Quite a good election huh? With more than 240 dead and 280 wounded in just 5 days and the definite knowledge that Iran at the least stuffed ballots and intimidated voters. The Sunni’s have a reason to be concerned. Civil war looks imminent to me. What do you think?
