VICE PRESIDENT DICK CHENEY: Well, you can't anticipate everything. You know, we did anticipate a lot of things that didn't happen. We anticipated the possibility of a civil war between Sunni and Shia. That hasn't happened. We anticipated that Saddam would do to his oil fields what he did to the Kuwaiti oil fields 15 years ago, and try to destroy them and set them on fire. We saw them putting explosives out on the wells before the military operation began. That didn't happen.

Iraq "Being Pushed Towards Civil War" says Iraqi President

Following the bombing of one of the most revered Shiite shrines in Samarra, Iraqui President, Jalal Talabani has issued a warning that extremists are pushing Iraq towards civil war.

Whilst receiving a delegation from Salahuddin province Talabani told reporters “We are facing a major conspiracy that is targeting Iraq’s unity,” adding “We should all stand hand in hand to prevent the danger of a civil war.”

The attack at the Samarra shrine comes at the worst time for the countries stability following the elections held there last December. Talabani, told reporters he was working towards a government that would “bring stability to Iraq.”
