Kissinger warned against a rapid withdrawal of coalition troops, saying it could destabilize Iraq's neighbors and cause a long-lasting conflict.
"A dramatic collapse of Iraq whatever we think about how the situation was created would have disastrous consequences for which we would pay for many years and which would bring us back, one way or another, into the region," he said.

Second, "Kissinger Against a Rapid Withdrawal of Iraq."
I wonder why Yahoo took the first

I wonder how quickly we could've won if the Democraps had had the country's interest at heart instead of their own.
No need to invade Iran. Just let the Israelis nuke it.
That is the difference between "modern wars" and "old wars". WWII fought with unpunished treason in the government and public as well as under the same 24-7 satellite speed uncensored yellow belly commie coverage that we have today would have been a capitulation, not unconditional surrender. Add to the press problems the other big fact that the enemy is a non-state. It is a religion that sees death as victory, and this situation cannot be won in the normal sense of the word. It's more like pest control. Keep putting poison out to control the spread of the ants.
That said, we have no choice but to fight. To not-fight is to ultimately live under Muslim law or invite endless death and destruction at the same time we try to appease them.
Or maybe we could just let the Muslims go all out at killing each other for a while. When a winner emerges, we go after the winner.
Why is this old fossil so sure of our defeat?
I he talking in generalities or is he senile?
I guess we should surrender right now be beheaded
get it over because we can't win against terrorists.
Hey, Hank, you've been going to too many Manhattan
cocktail parties. You've become an extension of the NY Times.
Yeah. If I'm looking for advice about a guerrilla war, the first person I'm gonna call is Henry Kissinger. Only because George Armstrong Custer is unavailable.
Does anyone recall Kissinger's postion
on Ronald Reagan and the defeat on the Soviet Union?
Can't recall but I don't remeber that Kissinger
supported Reagan.
Indeed. Since 2002 their encouragement and the MSM's sensationalism of the islamists and other enemies has made the mission nearly impossible.
Kissinger called Reagan an "idiot"

'That man is an idiot," said Henry Kissinger to Mordecai Richler, referring to Ronald Reagan. The year was 1980..."
Withdrawl of Iraq from what or where?
Why is anyone still listening to Kissinger a generation after he left the political stage?
