Henry Kissinger, (the real Dr. Strangelove who brought us the Christmas bombing of North Vietnam and the invasion of Cambodia which resulted in the Khmer Rouge dictatorship and 1/3 of the population dead), has advised Pres Bush to stay the course in Iraq, at least according to Bob Woodward in State of Denial
However, he has now changed his mind, 650,000 dead Iraqis later. Military victory is no longer possible in Iraq, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger said in a television interview broadcast Sunday.
Kissinger presented a bleak vision of Iraq, saying the U.S. government must enter into dialogue with Iraq's regional neighbors — including Iran — if progress is to be made in the region.
"If you mean by 'military victory' an Iraqi government that can be established and whose writ runs across the whole country, that gets the civil war under control and sectarian violence under control in a time period that the political processes of the democracies will support, I don't believe that is possible," he told the British Broadcasting Corp.
Thanks for the advice Henry. BTW, don't leave the country, you are wanted for war crimes.
