Former Aide To Schwarzkopf Warns Iraq War Could Turn Into Somalia

"Colonel Turner outlined a worst-case scenario: "Within hours of our attack,
Saddam launches Scuds on Israel. Israel's government launches a full-scale
attack on Iraq, creating a holy war. Saddam, threatened with his own
survival, uses chemical and biological weapons and human shields. He torches
his own oil fields, thousands of his own people are killed. Photos of US
soldiers amid landscapes of Iraqi civilian bodies blanket the world press
which aligns unanimously against the US."

He then envisaged the US left to administer a post-Saddam Iraq with minimal
international co-operation and open to terror attacks from al- Qa'ida. North
Korea could take advantage and start exporting nuclear weapons.

"These are not remote possibilities, but in my view reasonable, possibly
even likely outcomes," he concluded."
