Kissinger: "I see little incentive Iran has to help us solve the Iraq problem.'"

http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,,-6383956,00.html

<snip>

Former Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger, in subtle disagreement with the Bush administration, told Wednesday's hearing that the United States should always be ready to negotiate, including with Iran and Syria as part of a regional conference that he proposed for dealing with Iraq.

But Kissinger described radical Islamic fundamentalism promoted by Iran as the biggest threat to the area, and said that ``I see little incentive Iran has to help us solve the Iraq problem.''

In prepared testimony to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright appeared to line up with senators opposing President Bush's buildup in Iraq.

``I could have supported an increase in troops if that increase had been tied to a clear, important and achievable mission, and if we were guaranteed that our troops would have the best training and equipment,'' she said.

1. Well, considering we've already solved IRAN's "Iraq problem" for them...

... they could at least show a little gratitude. :crazy:
