Uncivil war on Lieberman

The rodent from Connecticut deserves every bit of misinterpretation thrown at him, so we note the below (Think Progress » Lieberman: There Is No Civil War In Iraq (But Even If There Is, We Should Stay) mostly in jest:

Lieberman claimed the “facts” suggest Iraq is not in a civil war. But seconds before, he said, “Why do proponents of withdrawal from Iraq keep insisting that [our] American troops shouldn’t be policing a civil war?”

Lieberman, contrary to what Think Progress is implying, is not necessarily contradicting himself. It is possible that he is right that Iraq is not a civil war (perhaps in Lieberverse) and also right that we should police it if it turns into one.
