That was a while ago and like most things you have to remove a lot of context to make such statements fit into your flawed reasoning. We can definitely refer to insurgencies using the word 'civil' and 'violence'.

You can resort to ad hominem and you can lie, but the facts have a funny way of remaining the same.

Powell said this 5 day ago:

"It is not sustainable for our troops just to stay over there for an indefinite period at 180,000 person-strength unless there is improvement in the conditions that generate what I consider to be a civil war. So we have to have progress on the Iraqi political side," Powell said.

Spin, lie, attack, whatever. I have the facts. You have rhetoric.

Iraq is in a Civil War. The Maliki government exist only because we're propping it up. It would disappear in a second if we left.
