"If Iraq evolves into a full civil war, I don't know how or who US troops fight? Who is the enemy? I wouldn't want to be the guy making the decisions at that point."

I think we've already picked our "side", and it's the same side as Iran. We support the majority ruling Shiia that make up most of the Army. I think a lot of what we're calling the "insurgency" is really Sunni violence against Shiia institutions in the making, like police. A lot of the bodies that turn up every day are from Shiia deaths squads operating clandestinely. I't just as Iyad Allawi said, it's ALREADY a low intensity civil war.

Neither side in the south is one we'd support in a vaccumn. We should just move to the Kurdish region, they are the only group there that deserves our support.
