well.. he did say COULD... and i would agree that it could.... so to help prevent that why don't we all start working together on a solution instead of butting heads about our differences of opinion on Iraq? :)

Sorry, no expert analysis here since this is all just speculation and cautious hypotheses by everyone at this point.
