DescriptionA rift over Iraq has emerged among senior advisers in the Bush administration who helped wage the first Persian Gulf War and now face the possibility of a second.

On the other side are those such as Secretary of State Colin Powell and former national security adviser Brent Scowcroft, who advise caution and warn of the consequences of war.
