I don't think Mr Blix's use of the term "civil war" is the best choice of words considering the Iraqis are fighting a foreign occupation.
He applauded Secretary of State Colin Powell for having the honesty to recognise last week that the evidence on Iraq's weapons programs he presented to the UN Security Council in February 2003 was wrong.
"He has made amends ... that is not the case with Cheney and Rumsfeld," Dr Blix said.
Tell it to the families of the dead. From what I've read, many in the military used to consider Powell a soldier's man right up until he delivered the case for war to the UN, now the same people consider him a sell-out.
