Iraq on verge of a civil war: Russia

Russia today expressed serious concern over the current situation in Iraq, saying the country was now on the verge of a civil war.

''In Iraq, everything is on the verge of a civil war,'' Russian Foreign Ministry Middle East and North Africa Department Deputy Director Oleg Ozerov said in his remark at an international conference on global security.

''We are concerned over the stalemate in forming the government in Iraq. Our opinion is that it is for Iraqis themselves to make decisions regarding the formation of the government, without outside pressure,'' Mr Ozerov stressed.

4. There's a chill in the air...

The "Cold war" is heating up, as we speak. I believe the Russians have now reached a point where they are drawing a line in the sand.

Those Neanderthals in Washington don't take a hint. So the Russians are going to have to be a little more forceful...
