Henry Kissinger warns
destroying Isis could lead to ‘Iranian radical empire’
I'm surprised at Kissinger on this.
I've never liked or admired him, but his intelligence is not
to be doubted.
This thesis, however, seems at about the level of an
American Congressman or Nikki Haley.

Response to a comment
about if only Iraq hadn’t been invaded:
Iraq was a disaster down to every last result. A colossal
blunder whose full impact has yet to be realized. The idea of its likely boost
to Iran’s influence in the region was offered by experts at the time but, of
course, ignored by the Bush brain trust.
We had Israel's incessant demands behind the scenes for
American action there.
Just as they were major players in promoting and supporting
the horror in Syria, an enterprise which now appears to have failed.
Today, we have Israel whispering in Trump's ear regularly
about Iran. A project long on Israel's to-do list. Sharon used to blubber on
about it.
Could old Henry be parroting the war criminal in Tel Aviv?
Quite possibly, after all, Israel really is a de facto
American colony in the Middle East.
The most subsidized and over-protected colony on earth.
