Woodward: Bush concealing level of Iraq violence

Bob Woodward's new book is being widely reported on today. The Washington Post's headline ( Woodward: Bush concealing level of Iraq violence ) talkes about the level of violence in Iraq being concealed by the administration. It's hard to imagine that it can be worse there than I imagine. But the part I found truly staggering is that yet another old Nixon insider, everyone's favorite Nobel Peace Price winner, Trilateral Commission member and War Criminal (a fact, look it up), Henry Kissinger is being consulted regularly. Here's a quote:

Woodward said Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney often met with Henry Kissinger as an adviser. Kissinger was President Richard Nixon's national security adviser and then secretary of state during the Vietnam War.

These people have a disregard for human life (at leat non-American human life) that I still find shocking. All of it supported onnly by obviously failing idealogies. I'm reminded on Mao, who seems to be an embarassment even to China these days. Maybe Iraq isn't even the New Vietnam. Maybe it's just the same old Vietnam all over again.
