Kissinger on VietnamIraq exit strategy

Who else are you going to ask for comments when you're talking about a failed war and attempts at saving face while in a quagmire? Lemme guess...B-52 carpet bomb poor innocent civilians, make sure that fragging goes through the roof since nobody wants to be the last one to die for a failed war and support a corrupt government no matter how bad they are? How can the guy can actually be taken seriously after his complete failure in SE Asia not to mention the tarnished reputation that he left the US with after the war?

Since people want to talk about the Iraqi-ization of the war, they ought to take a look at what that meant in Vietnam. During that war, despite pumping money into the corrupt South Vietnamese administrations, much of that money only made it into the pockets of the leading politicians and military brass like what we are witnessing in Iraq. It was standard government policy in South Vietnam for the troops to fail in combat because once the US troops left, they knew the money would leave. Take a look at Afghanistan and tell me that Iraq would be any different. They have to know that the US has a long history of ditching responsibilities once the hot moment is over.

All we ever hear is about the Iraqi troops that are coming into the mix but if this is something that they really wanted, would it honestly be taking so long? Let's put a bit of reality into this picture because the GOP wants to live in a fantasy land with Iraq, just like they did during Vietnam. Kissinger had a failed plan during Vietnam and his new plan for Iraq doesn't sound much different. Why does the MSM give this disgrace the time of day? He's an embarassment and he ought to have been brought up before The Hague for war crimes.
