One of the few conservative magazines worth reading, The New American, reports that Henry Kissinger told an Italian reporter in 1972 that the war in Vietnam had “been a useless war.” I think if I was one of the 58,000 soldiers killed or one of the 304,000 soldiers wounded or one of the 75,000 soldiers disabled (23,000 totally disabled) in that “useless war” that I would be quite upset at Kissinger and the government that was responsible for that crime.

When will we hear Bush or Rumsfeld admit that the war in Iraq is likewise a “useless war”? Probably not until after a few thousand more American soldiers die for a lie.
