Yes, I also heard about a million refugees from Stalingrad on the Tigris. And the Arab Street would rise, you heard that everywhere. The UN built tent cities that were never used. This civil war wasn't even a direct prediction - and certainly NOT from one of your anti-war crowd - but was tossed out as a possibility. Had Al Qaeda not decided to foment civil war as a strategy, it was unlikely to happen. Iraqis made their choices too.

I said the Arab Street wouldn't rise and there wouldn't be Stalingrad on the Tigris. I said the Iraqis would cheer the Americans, but briefly since they were Arabs, thus congenitally unable to stay grateful to infidels for long. It didn't, there wasn't, and they did.
