Answer 1

It never should have been made a country in the manner it is anyway. It shold have been three separate countries to begin with. Unfortunately the British just drew country lines to suit the oil companies. Oh well.
It will be difficult to split as the oil is not throughout the whole country. It will be interesting to see how this ends though.

Answer 2

Yeah, pretty much. The winning thing could be true because of limited commitment on the part of the US, which ties in to the international force issue. GWB has been trying, since the inception of the Iraq war to get support from other country's, with limited success.

Henry's right about the leaving part, too. This is when we can take a lesson from Vietnam. We didn't give the pullout enough time, nor did we properly prepare RVN to go it alone. In Iraq, we are being as patient as is reasonably possible. Not only that, we best be prepared to offer emergency assistance in the event the opposition gets really aggressive.

Answer 3

I agree that Kissinger knows about failure, with his responsibility and advice in Vietnam. I certainly would like to see more international effort and cooperation, but what other nation besides Britain has the guts to join the US and do what needs to be done. The rest of Europe, particularly the French, Germans, and Russians sit idly by complaining, yet poised like vultures to reap the economic benefit without paying the political cost. Funny, that didn't come up in Kissinger's talk, but then, I was never the National Security Adviser or Secretary of State like he was.... I think he has an important perspective.

Answer 4

Kissinger is a moron, and a political blunderer such as most of our so-called political officials, the concept of dividing Iraq into 3 or 4 sections was first expressed by Michael Savage, of whom is the extremely intelligent host of his own AM radio talk show shortly after the war on terror commenced, as well as Michael's well appreciated opinions regarding ending the war more rapidly by utilizing a much more aggressive approach involving a bombing campaign that would take out most of the known terrorists that are hiding like cowards within various regions of Iraq...

Answer 5

Kissinger was a defeatist back in the 60's and sat on his fat butt giving away a country while young men gave their lives. His failure to gain full accountability for the POW's left many with no closure to their loved ones. MIA is the direct result of His diplomacy. Along with being overweight he is overrated.

Answer 6

When he was outside the tent he was leading the "stay the course" cheersquad. Now he is inside the tent he says military victory is impossible. What's changed? Only one thing: he now has access to more information than provided by the US news networks. His solution? Ask Iran and Syria to bale them out. What a joke, why should they?
Some Iranian politicians are now openly stating that the USA should stay the course in Iraq, and why shouldn't they?
