Kissinger
Breaks with Bush Over Iraq
On Aug 16,2002,
in a page one story, Todd S. Purdum and Patrick E. Tyler
reported:
"Leading
Republicans from Congress, the State Department and
past administrations have begun to break ranks with
President Bush over his administration's high-profile
planning for war with Iraq, saying the administration
has neither adequately prepared for military action
nor made the case that it is needed. These senior Republicans
include former Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger
and Brent Scowcroft, the first President Bush's national
security adviser. All say they favor the eventual removal
of Saddam Hussein, but some say they are concerned that
Mr. Bush is proceeding in a way that risks alienating
allies, creating greater instability in the Middle East,
and harming long-term American interests. They add that
the administration has not shown that Iraq poses an
urgent threat to the United States."
