  The effect of perturbative QCD interactions on the high energy scattering of
electroweak vector bosons, when the exchanged channel has pion quantum numbers,
is considered. The chiral anomaly is shown to appear in the couplings of
particular transverse momentum diagrams, producing an enhancement of the
scattering amplitude by a power of the energy. At $O(\alpha_s)$ a single large
transverse momentum gluon is involved and, within the transverse momentum
diagram framework, there is no cancelation. In higher orders, soft gluons,
carrying both normal and anomalous color parity, are also present.
  The manipulation of a transverse momentum cut-off to replace the ultra-violet
anomaly divergence by infra-red divergences that can lead to confinement and
chiral symmetry breaking is briefly discussed. Possible implications for
electroweak symmetry breaking are noted.
