• Brzezinski trashes Bush war plans |
Military 2007-02-02 |
In testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee today, Zbigniew Brzezinski said:
"The war in Iraq is a historic, strategic, and moral calamity. Undertaken under false assumptions, it is undermining America's global legitimacy... If the United States continues to be bogged down in a protracted bloody involvement in Iraq, the final destination on this downhill track is likely to be a head-on conflict with Iran and with much of the world of Islam at large... A mythical historical narrative to justify the case for such a protracted and potentially expanding war is already being articulated... "
Quite a slap in the face, especially considering the source.
