However Tribesman, Stealhead and all the other prophets, I defy you to find a pre-2003 article that predicts a full scale civil war. It should be easy since it was so obvious to everyone.
So you wouldn't be interested in the obvious pieces doing the rounds in 2002 at the time when little Bush did his war resolution on 16th October that year?
Poor young George said those people were living in denial and fear.

I suppose the Saudis and Turks warning of the same thing in March 2002 would be news to you too.

How about a nice open letter from Sept 2002 in a newspaper signed by 100 Iraqi exiles opposed to Saddam warning that the proposed US approach will unleash civil war and regional destabilisation?

Is there any shortage of pre 2003 news articles warning of the obvious?

omg, Saddam executed 50 Shias during the Iran-Iraq war,
Are you familiar with the name Al-Sadr?

Ah, I expect you to do your own research, go to newspaper website and dial up "Iraq war" articles from 2002.

BTW did the name al-sadr make you rethink your OMG comment?

Any luck yet Bilge?
Have you found a piece from 4th Oct 2002 giving the 3 most repeated reasons for opposing the war?
#2 is shia/sunni/kurd civil war

That's the way it's done. You make a claim, you post a link. If somebody asks for a link, you provide it.
