Iraq: Would U.S. Pull Out in Full Civil War?

Iraq—Plans in Case of a Civil War
President Bush will move U.S. troops out of Iraq if the country descends into civil war, according to one senior Bush aide who declined to be named while talking about internal strategy. "If there's a full-blown civil war, the president isn't going to allow our forces to be caught in the crossfire," the aide said.
Besides the question of what qualifies as a 'full-blown civil war', I wonder if Bush's ego is too big to ever pull out while he is in office. Check out one of his latest comments
...You know, I hear people say, Well, civil war this, civil war that. The Iraqi people decided against civil war when they went to the ballot box. And a unity government is working to respond to the will of the people. And, frankly, it’s quite a remarkable achievement on the political front.
