Powell for President? The former Secretary of State who left the White House in 2004 recently stated that leaders should come to the reality that Iraq is in fact in civil war.

DUBAI (Reuters) - Former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell said on Wednesday Iraq had descended into civil war and urged world leaders to accept that "reality". Powell's remarks came ahead of a meeting between Bush and Iraqi prime minister Nuri al-Maliki in the Jordanian capital to discuss the security developments in Iraq. "I would call it a civil war," Powell told a business forum in the United Arab Emirates. "I have been using it (civil war because I like to face the reality," added Powell.
