This is what Kissinger said about Vietnam and now President Bush is in Hanoi shaking hands and stating "Buy American Goods", Thanks Friends!

[staff2--2008]

let us learn from this...never elect a bumbling idiot from texas to the presidency...Mr. Bush in his greed to give the spoils of Iraq to his oil tycoon friends got us into a fine mess...the Supreme Court and our fine justices' made it all possible...even against the will of the people...we trully are what the rest of the world thinks of us...morons...

What would Henry Kissinger know about warfare? Oh, is he basing his views on the terrific job the Nixon adminstration did with Vietnam? Lest we forget what a horror was that war. For those of you who weren't around or can't remember 'Nam, the Nixon adminstration did not end that war. Those of us in the streets were responsible for its demise. Nixon just happened to be the crook ("I am not a crook") in power. Getting advice form Henry Kissinger is a sure sign we on the right track and that track is headed for doom.

Just what we need, the captain of the Titanic giving us advice on how to sail our boat!!

It is interesting that anyone would even approach this guy for his opinions on the situation in Iraq. Hmmm leads me to wonder if he was involved in the decision to go there in the first place??

History really does repeat itself...

Bush got us into this thing. Let him figure out how to get "us" out. Has he never in his life been responsible for cleaning up his own messes? Leave the immature little jerk alone to stew in his own juices.

It is impossible as long as they (Iraqi) don't want peace and reconciliation for their own. It is obvious that the Iraqi government and muslim terrorist are equally responsible for those killings. It means both side want to keep it that way.

Selah: Israel has failed to defeat "terrorism" after 40 years of oppression and military action against the Palestinians AND Lebanese. Dont listen to Israelis if you want to solve problems.

And forget about this "Clash of Civilizations" nonsense.

[bob_burd]

There is too much sabotage from Iraq's neighbors and religious factions going on to achieve a diplomatic solution. Diplomacy is impossible with Iran, who is a huge problem and a nuclear powder keg-in waiting. Russia continues to be a covert presence of support to America's enemies as well, because its double-dealing agenda has not changed an iota since the Cold War.

A military war cannot be won against primitive tribal people who believe that by blowing themselves up they will go go paradise. Israel has stated the hard truth; the only solution to dealing with muslim terrorists is to SEND them to paradise. But this is only an ongoing solution which just keeps extremists temporarily at bay until new followers evolve to take their place.

Armageddon is a slow, insidious process, isn't it? And to think everyone figured World War III would be a declared war. This clash of civilizations will be the war to end all wars, and has already been going on longer than either of the first two world wars lasted.

There will be no winners.

turn-buddy, you can't negotiate with terrorists or women. Didn't your Daddy teach you anything.

Spoken by ze mon who brokered the Paris Peace accords and helped get us out of Viet Nam. Unlikely that the Bush bunch will listen.

Mr. Kissinger,

Are we to believe you now after you are the one who provided monthly guidance to the Bush administration on how to manage Iraq that eventually led us to this quagmire that we are in?

How could we save face and enguage with the "axis of evil" Iran to work out a compromise?

Why has no one called for a world religion summit of all major muslim groups to put a decree out to stop the violence on all sides to work out a final political settlement?
