Kagan says “Iraq Civil war is over”
According to Fred Kagan of the American Enterprise Institute, “The Iraq civil is over”. While I guess that it is progress for someone with the AEI to admit that a civil war was ever going on in Iraq, this wishful thinking is contrary to the situation on the ground. According to reports by the AP, American Embassy staff in Baghdad have been asked to stay in reinforced buildings, and to wear body armor if they go outside. MSNBC’s website states that the state department has confirmed that two American citizens have died in Baghdad. Both of these stories are related to continuing rocket and mortar attacks on the “Green Zone”.
Glenn Greenwald has more information on his blog about Kagan.
