At Least 30 Killed in New Iraq Violence
BAGHDAD, Iraq - Bombings in Baghdad killed 26 people and four others died when mortar rounds slammed into their homes in a nearby town Wednesday, the second day of surging violence after authorities lifted a curfew that briefly calmed sectarian attacks.

...snip...

A spokesman for the powerful Association of Muslim Scholars blasted the government for failing to stanch sectarian attacks that have pushed the country closer to civil war.

"It is clear that the government and its security forces are incapable of taking any action," said Abdul-Salam al-Kubaisi, a spokesman for the Sunni clerical group.

Government forces should "do their duty and withdraw to the Green Zone," he said, implying Iraqi troops needed protection from American forces in the heavily fortified area of central Baghdad that houses the U.S. Embassy and the Iraqi government.

1. But the Prez said that this can't be true.
Asked what Washington would do if civil war broke out in Iraq, Bush told ABC News: "I don't buy your premise that there's going to be a civil war."
