Former American diplomat Dr Henry Kissinger has asked the world to back Pakistan instead of snubbing it in the aftermath of the Abbottabad operation.
In an interview with The Daily Telegraph, Kissinger spoke on how he thinks the US and its allies should be handling the situation in Afghanistan:
“There is an emerging consensus that we should negotiate with the Taliban but even if you can get an agreement from them about withdrawal how do you enforce that? Otherwise it develops into a unilateral withdrawal. In Afghanistan, I think withdrawal will become a political necessity because of the inability to create a structure which we can turn over. So I would negotiate with surrounding countries who would be threatened by a terrorist Afghanistan if it emerged.”
On Osama
Speaking on Bin Laden’s death, Kissinger noted:
“It must have an effect on the morale of al-Qaeda and the view of their relevance, considering that there were so few protests in the Arab world.”
The German born Harvard professor dominated US foreign policy at the height of the Cold War and is credited to coining infamous diplomatic phrases such as “Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac” and “shuttle diplomacy,” coined to describe his Middle Eastern peregrinations in the 1970s.
It is about time a German/American Jew, who is a war criminal and cannot go to whole of Europe is coming out to defend the Pakistan. A man is recognized by the company he keeps. He must be the only American not questioning the presence of OBL in a Pakistani military base, I wonder why?
Did it occur to writer of this article that, apart from the headline, it doesn’t mention anywhere that Kissinger asked the world to back-off off Pakistan? The original article on the Daily Telegraph indeed has that part, but the body of the article above doesn’t!
Wow! He should be the one to talk.
A war criminal in pinstripe suit.
Nixon, McNamara and Kissinger … smart set.
Read the Trials of Henry Kissinger by Christopher Hitchins.
Kissinger is an irrelevant voice from the past nobody pays any attention to.
We seem to have comments from Hindus of India pretending to be Muslims who find Kissengers comments as unacceptable because it goes against what they want. had Kissenger made negative comments they would have been very appreciative. Kissenger is a realist, and if he is a criminal then many government officials in India must be even bigger criminals, having killed many innocent Kashmiri’s.
