War criminal say's: : Shiites likely to prevail in Iraq, Powell predicts:

The Denver Post - Shiites likely to prevail in Iraq, Powell predicts: "Aspen - The civil war in Iraq cannot be put down by American forces and will end only after a 'test of arms' in which the predominant Shiites are likely to prevail, former Secretary of State Colin Powell predicted Thursday.
'It's going to be very public. It's not going to be very pretty to watch. But I don't see any way to avoid it,' Powell, one of the architects of the war, told an overflow audience at the Aspen Ideas Festival. "
