Kissinger on Iraq

Expectedly, when the 'V' word comes up, Kissinger dissembles. Rather than lay the blame on the US failures in Iraq on it's leaders (where it belongs), he draws a dubious parrallel to what he thinks cost the US victory in Vietnam. Public opinion.

In essence, he is blaming americans who are anti-war for Bush's ongoing failure to produce results.

Never mind the facts, that the Vietnam war was very popular until the Kent State massacre, or that Bush doesn't need PR when he controls Congress and the Senate and he isn't running for re-election.

These guys will just lie and lie again.

But at least one thing in the article connects the dots. Iraq IS like Vietnam, and we all saw how well Vietnam turned out for the US.
