Kissinger: U.S. Should Stay in Iraq for Now Dec 8 2005 Top AP News 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. As the war continues, President Bush's ratings have fallen. On Wednesday, Bush again defended his war policy, saying that while the violence has been unrelenting, Iraq is making steady progress. Democrats criticize the White House as having no clear plan for bringing American troops home. A Nobel Peace Prize winner, Kissinger said the global threat of terrorism and nuclear attack requires new international partnerships that anticipate the dangers and take preventive action to secure world order. The United States, China, Asian and Arab countries must understand they can only further their individual interests by securing stability for the whole, he said. townhall.com
