Iraq In Civil War Says Former Premier

March 19, 2006 - Iraq's former prime minister, Iyad Allawi, says he believes sectarian violence has taken Iraq into a state of civil war.

Here's something a little more recent from Allawi, seems the term of "civil war" has been replaced with push the country towards civil war.:
former Iraqi defence minister Ali Allawi presented a blueprint for peace in Iraq. His proposals have met with overwhelming approval

A blueprint for peace in Iraq has won praise from across the political establishment as senior figures from all parties urged a new strategy to bring states across the Middle East into the struggle to end the conflict.

Senior Labour figures joined opposition MPs in welcoming the plan, set out by Iraq's former defence minister Ali Allawi, for Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Turkey to be given a role in helping to end the increasingly bitter sectarian divisions in Iraq that have helped push the country towards civil war. Senior military figures and foreign affairs analysts also backed the intervention of Mr Allawi, a senior adviser to the Iraqi Prime Minister, Nouri al-Maliki, whose blueprint was revealed in yesterday's Independent.

Saudi Foreign Minister Says Iraq Is In Civil War

Once again, something a bit more recent. Now the term is "sectarian violence":

JEDDAH, 20 December 2006 ?? Foreign Minister Prince Saud Al-Faisal said yesterday that Saudi Arabia would not take sides in Iraqi sectarian violence, denying press reports that Riyadh would support Sunnis in the wake of a US withdrawal from the war-torn country.

??Since the start of the crisis in Iraq.. ..the Kingdom has said it will stand at an equal distance from all Iraqi groups and does not describe itself as the guardian of any group or sect,? he said to reporters in Riyadh.

He said Saudi Arabia would continue its efforts to bring about security and stability in Iraq. ??We cooperate with all those who want a united, independent and sovereign Iraq,? he said. ??And we hope all Iraqi citizens receive equal rights and duties under the law.?
