W.H. Warned of Civil War in Iraq in 2003

Bush and Company were so busy pursuing their short-sighted agenda in Iraq, that they completely ignored their own intelligence agencies, which repeatedly warned the White House, starting in 2003(shortly after Bush's famous "Mission Accomplished")“that the insurgency in Iraq had deep local roots, was likely to worsen and could lead to civil war, according to former senior intelligence officials who helped craft the reports.”

But Bush is determined to "stay the course", regardless of how many Iraqi lives are lost and Iraq is totally demolished. And if all that remains standing are the fortified U.S. bases, so be it. Who needs Iraqis in Iraq anyway? After all, it's the oil that matters, or like Linda McQuaig says in the title of her book, "It's the Crude, Dude".

In their total disregard for the human cost of this illegal, immoral, criminal War on Iraq, the Bush Administration has lost all sense of morality and reality. As recently as May 2005, Cheney told a television interviewer: "I think they're in the last throes, if you will, of the insurgency." Are these people sane?
