WASHINGTON, Nov. 27 (Xinhua) -- The White House denied on Monday the saying by NBC, a major television network in the United States, that Iraq has fallen into a civil war.

The situation in Iraq is serious, but neither U.S. President George W. Bush nor Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki believe Iraq conflict is a civil war, National Security Council spokesman Gordon Johndroe said.

In its news program on Monday, NBC, sharing a popular viewpoint, branded the Iraq conflict a civil war.

Jordan's King Abdullah said on Sunday that civil war was looming in Iraq and UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan warned on Monday that Iraq was nearly in civil war.

Iraq has been troubled with growing violence for months. But the Bush administration is reluctant to say that the war-torn country is in civil war.

Sectarian violence between Shi'ite and Sunni Muslims in Iraq has increased dramatically in the past week. Multiple bombings in a Shi'ite neighborhood of Baghdad last Thursday killed more than 200 people and drew reprisal attacks in Sunni neighborhoods.

When the commanders in country evaluate the situation and determine it is a civil war, I'll go along with that. However, just because some incompetent fool in the MSM decides to use the term, doesn't make it so. They deserve NO respect as long as they are willingly fighting the bacteria's propanda war!

Ask yourself this... why does the press consider news from the Pentagon "propaganda" and all but ignores it, but is almost orgasmic over any new audeo or video from the terrorists? Why? Because they are so in bed with them the terrorists can't fart without the MSM sniffing it up like cocaine.

Well!!! Now that the matter has escalated,a much more comprehensive understanding of differing viewpoints has to be the right way forward.Iraq is going through a transition from a dictatorial regime to a democracy,the stakes are high and multiple dispensations want in on the powerpie,add to that the various clerical followings vying for a stake.
