Kissinger: U.S. Should Stay in Iraq for Now
By PEGGY HARRIS, Associated Press Writer
3 minutes ago

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger said Wednesday that Republicans and Democrats should forge bipartisan support for President Bush to bring stability to Iraq instead of arguing over the war.

"The fundamental fact is we cannot afford to leave that area under conditions that leave chaos," Kissinger told hundreds of business people at an annual meeting of the Little Rock Chamber of Commerce.

Terrorists cannot be disabled through traditional diplomatic means, said Kissinger, who was secretary of state and national security adviser under the administrations of Nixon and Ford. He retains substantial influence in foreign affairs, and continues to have close links to the Bush administration.

Kissinger, 82, urged compromise across political party lines and international boundaries.

Kissinger calls for biparitisan solution that comes to a Bush/Republican conclusion.

Kissinger calls for US to stay in Iraq for now because there is no diplomatic solution to terrorism.

How long is for now?


Are Americans fighting terrorists or insurgents?

3. Best arguement for immediate withdrawl:
