LONDON (AP) - Former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger said military victory is no longer possible in Iraq, in a television interview broadcast Sunday.

In a wide ranging interview on British Broadcasting Corp. television Kissinger presented a bleak vision of Iraq, saying the U.S. government must enter dialogue with Iraq's regional neighbors_ including Iran _ if any progress is to be made in the region.

"If you mean, by 'military victory,' an Iraqi government that can be established and whose writ runs across the whole country, that gets the civil war under control and sectarian violence under control in a time period that the political processes of the democracies will support, I don't believe that is possible," he said on the BBC's Sunday AM program. ...
