Pulling U.S. forces from Iraq could trigger catastrophe, CNN analysts and other observers warn, affecting not just Iraq but its neighbors in the Middle East, with far-reaching global implications.
Sectarian violence could erupt on a scale never seen before in Iraq if coalition troops leave before Iraq's security forces are ready. Supporters of al Qaeda could develop an international hub of terror from which to threaten the West. And the likely civil war could draw countries like Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Iran into a broader conflict.

Powell is no longer in office but I think that he is correct in this case.
Err didn't the dems promise a differnt course of action rather then a withdrawl from Iraq?

If the Islamic extremists were defending Iraq there primary target would be the US military and not innocent bystanders. You don't have to agree with my ideas concerning on how to deal with Iraq you just have to know what they are so you can stop jumping to conclusions.

Americans do not want defeat in Iraq. If this bill is supported widely by the U.S. people, why did Democrats had to be bribed, to the tune of $21 billion, to support it?

IMO the likes of the Saudi regime would be strong enough to crush or prevent the Iraq civil war from spilling over into other areas. In the process of doing this governments in the region would crack down further on peoples freedoms in the name of security. Of course I could be wrong and if that's the case then the conflict in Iraq will look quiet minor.

This show that democrats don't care, don't have the balls, are sold. That democrats won't save the situation.
...Democrats backed off after the House failed, on a vote of 222 to 203, to override the president's veto...

Sorry but you hate Bush, and democrats front-runners are the same as Bush, they just don't have the same name.
By the numbers provided, that also shows that both Democrats and Republicans voted "yes" to override the veto, just not enough of them. They could only overrule the veto with two thirds vote. That would have required 30 more votes for the overruling to pass.
I despise the majority of the current Governmental bodies... both Democrat and Republican. And on the other hand, there's some Democrats and Republicans that I do like.
As for the third party... I'll stick to the next Republican... Senator Ron Paul.
