Is it a civil war yet?

Todays body count is another gruesome example of how well Li'l Georgies Glorious War is going. The NY Times reports on the latest discoveries.
The bodies of 30 beheaded men were found on a main highway near Baquba this evening, providing more evidence that the death squads in Iraq are becoming out of control.

Interior Ministry officials said a driver discovered the bodies heaped in a pile next to a highway that links Baghdad to Baquba, a volatile city northeast of the capital that has been wracked by sectarian and insurgent violence.

Iraqi army troops were waiting tonight for American support before venturing into the insurgent-infested area to retrieve them.

"It's too dangerous for us to go in there alone," an Iraqi Army commander, Tassin Tawfik, said.

Earlier in the day, the corpses of 10 other men, all bound, blindfolded and shot, were discovered in Baghdad, adding to the hundreds of bodies that have recently surfaced on Baghdad's streets.
Maybe if they dressed the Shia in blue and the Sunnis in butternut Our Dear Embattled Leader would recognize what is happening in Iraq. And maybe the moon is made of green cheese.
