I'll second your predictions and add one or two: if Kerry or some other Democrat is elected in Nov, and the US is asked to leave and does so, the Democrats will be blamed for being too soft. Or some such thing. And they will be blamed for anything bad that happens afterward, including a civil war or a balkanization of the country, if it comes to that (events which seem to me as likely if not more likely than any other). If Bush is reelected and these bad things happen, it will be the fault of those who didn't stand behind him 100%.

the Iraqi police were not up to the job, resulting in a major wave of murder, robbery, rape, kidnapping, extortion, etc I don't have a URL handy, but I have posted articles showing that precisely the opposite is true. The murder rate in Baghdad is way below our big Cities. What is going on at the moment with the Iraqis attempting to form a Government is exactly what is to be expected. Democracy is messy. Dictatorships are not. You expect the worse. Just hang on a little while longer.
