Henry Kissinger has been advising President Bush and Vice President Cheney about Iraq, telling them that “victory is the only meaningful exit strategy,” author and journalist Bob Woodward said.
The Washington Post editor’s third book on the Bush administration, “State of Denial,” comes out next week.
In an interview airing Sunday night on CBS-TV’s “60 Minutes,” Woodward said that U.S. troops and their allies are being attacked, on average, every 15 minutes.
“The truth is that the assessment by intelligence experts is that next year, 2007, is going to get worse and, in public, you have the president and you have the Pentagon saying, ‘Oh, no, things are going to get better.’”
He said Kissinger, who served in the Nixon and Ford administrations, has been telling Bush and Cheney that “in Iraq, he declared very simply, ‘Victory is the only meaningful exit strategy.’”

“The Butcher Of Cambodia” is one of the nicknames given Henry
during the Viet Nam War and each of them were earned. Accusations of war crimes and crimes against humanity leveled against Mr. Kissinger by world governments and journalists and human rights advocacy groups are well-documented and largely unrefuted, yet CNN and other mainstream media still occasionally prop him front of a camera and record his gravelly, garbled commentary.
Another nickname for Kissinger could be TeflonMan. Accusations, both documented and suggested, slip off his old hide. He was BusyMan during his tenure in the Nixon administration. Along with his documented crimes in Viet Nam and Cambodia, Kissinger approved murderous actions in Latin America, covert actions in Chilean politics, and he has been accused of complicity in the atrocities committed by the Argentine military junta. At one point Spain requested that Kissinger answer questions relating to his human rights abuses, but the US State Department rejected their petition. Kissinger was also a secret informant to a Nixon re-election campaign where he passed confidential information from the Johnson administration’s negotiators in the Paris peace talks to John Mitchell, Nixon’s campaign manager.
In his book Lost Crusader: The Secret Wars Of CIA Director William Colby, John Prador quotes Kissinger:
“It is an act of insanity and national humiliation to have a law prohibiting the president from ordering assassination.”
In 1973 Heinz/Henry Alfred Kissinger was the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize.
