You can almost sense the German academic accent as one reads Kissinger's Op/Ed. If you take the time to dissect the academia Kissinger is saying a troop withdrawal from Iraq should not be based on scheduled timetable, rather a withdrawal should be based on conditions which include Iraqi responsibility and the capacity to support Iraq if or when jihads flare up.
That sounds like wise advice to me.
Kissinger in says to learn from the mistakes of the Vietnam War. Congress cut funding to support South Vietnam and Cambodia. The result was a bloody Communist victory, especially the genocide of the "Killing Fields" of Cambodia.
Kissinger urges the Congress or whoever the next Executive in Office to NOT make the same mistake with Iraq.
Cagey wise words if you ask me.
