And the "insurgents" (al Qaeda types) pretty much control Anbar province.

I'm not sure you call it a civil war... it's more like a territory land grab. Most of the country is completely lawless and just being "captured" by the strongest group. It sort of looks like a pre-civil war positioning. And now it looks like we may have to give up Baghdad, unless we decide to level it.

I think at some point you might see a REAL nasty civil war, all hell breaking loose with various factions fighting other factions all over the place.

But who knows?

"The Shiite militia run by anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr seized total control of the southern Iraqi city of Amarah on Friday"

This seems to be a growing trend. So, at what point is there officially civil war?

If you're Bush, never.
