Scowcroft: we're #ucked
The former US national security adviser who served in the administration of the first president Bush warned today that the war in Iraq threatens to grind on for years like the Vietnam conflict.
"It could become a Vietnam in a way that the Vietnam war never did," Brent Scowcroft said in an interview. "Our exit from that country did not have grave consequences, while if we wanted to get out of Iraq today, the consequences would be very deep."
Scowcroft, who heads the Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board of Squinty the Stupid, was an outspoken critic of the US-led invasion of Iraq, arguing it took the focus off the fight against the extremist al-Qaeda network.
