Army chief warns of possible civil war

President Bush has told us that free elections in Iraq will change the landscape of the country. Richard Meyers says, "Bush may be right":

US army chief General Richard Myers said in an interview that civil war could erupt in Iraq (news - web sites) after forthcoming elections.

However, Myers, the chairman of the US joint chiefs of staff, told the daily Publico there was no indication at present this would happen.

"Civil war is still a possibility. We know that there are forces for whom this is an objective," Myers said, adding: "We have not yet any signs that this will happen."

Is there anyone left out there that still believes that elections in Iraq will put an end to the insurgency? Just curious.
