"the point of no return...has been passed"

Henry the K(issinger) is thus quoted in the New York Sun. The opening line of the quotation is what many forget, or more likely, prefer to not dwell on:

"The war against Iraq is an integral part of the war on terrorism. How else can we convince the Saudi Arabias of the world that it is too dangerous to collude in challenging the United States?” Mr. Kissinger said in remarks to about 150 of New York’s top businessmen and philanthropists gathered yesterday at the “21” Club for a lunch sponsored by the Center for Security Policy. “The point of no return with respect to Iraq has been passed.”

At least one former Secretary of State sees things with clarity.

Who dares wins.
