Reid: Iraq is a "civil war"

Harry Reid is calling Iraq what it is:

Declaring that he believes the situation in Iraq has devolved into a civil war, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid said Thursday he plans to try to bring the war back up for debate on the Senate floor.

The Nevada Democrat said he has been "somewhat gingerly approaching this.... No longer. There is a civil war going on in Iraq. In the last two months, more than 6,000 Iraqis have been killed. That's averaging more than 100 a day being killed in Iraq and we need to make sure there is a debate on this."

Bill Frist's spokesperson said talking about Iraq is a "bad summer rerun." The GOP loves to play politics with Iraq. They hate doing policy on Iraq because they have no policy besides "stay the course." Their course continues to be a disaster of epic proportions.
