Civil War? See Ya!

From Newsweek:
The Bush administration insists Iraq is a long way from civil war, but the contingency planning has already begun inside the White House and the Pentagon. President Bush will move U.S. troops out of Iraq if the country descends into civil war, according to one senior Bush aide who declined to be named while talking about internal strategy. 'If there's a full-blown civil war, the president isn't going to allow our forces to be caught in the crossfire,' the aide said.

Expect the current 'sectarian violence' to become a 'full-blown civil war' some time in October.

What a sad excuse that is. Couldn't we just admit that we screwed up and go? Must we make ourselves look even worse by using the escalating conflict as our excuse for an exit?
