Secretary of State Rice: “I don’t think we do the Iraqi people any good, or really that we are fair to them, in continually raising the specter that they might fall into civil war[.]“
U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Zalmay Khalilzad: “Everything that needs to be done must be done to avoid a civil war, and I think they are keenly aware of the danger.” (NYTimes)
