WASHINGTON - NBC News Monday branded the Iraq conflict a civil war—a decision that put it at odds with the White House and that analysts said would increase public disillusionment with the U.S. troop presence there.

In a related announcement, NBC News Monday branded the Golden Gate a "bridge" and the Statue of Liberty a "statue."
