Make no mistake about it. withdrawal from Iraq before that peace is better secured will have wide and important ramifications. We could potentially have an explosion of sectarian violence in Traq. killing and bloodshed on a larger. more barbaric scale. Al Qaeda and other jihadists could get a new and more dangerous base of operations. The influence of Iran would grow. The Saudis and moderate Arab states themselves could be threatened. Turkey. a strong NATO ally. could be drawn into the war. And Iraqs neighbors could see even more waves of refugees. Mr. Speaker. we are a Nation at war. and the stakes are extremely high for America.
