Civil War Started?

Peter Galbraith, a former U.S. diplomat and expert on the Kurds who was in Arbil, said the attack could strengthen the hand of Kurdish groups that want to break away from the rest of the country, threatening further chaos in Iraq. "It is too early to predict the fallout, but the bombings will strengthen those in the Kurdish movement who want to insulate Kurdistan physically and politically from the rest of Iraq," Galbraith said.

Those killed included Sami Abdul-Rahman, deputy prime minister of the KDP government in one half of northern Iraq. Akram Mantik, governor of Arbil province and his deputy Mehdi Khoshnau also died, as did the chief of the KDP headquarters. The top PUK official in Arbil was critically wounded.

"The significance of this is devastating to the leadership of the Kurdish Democratic Party, one of the U.S.'s biggest allies in the war," Galbraith said.

WOLFOWITZ: "WE ARE WINNING"
====================================================================
Exactly what is it we are winning?
Are we winning the peace?
Are we winning cooperation?
Are the number of deaths dropping or rising?
Are the number of terrorists in Iraq more or less than before we went there?
Is Wolfowitz an idiot or what?
