KISSINGER MEETS THE BLOGGERS: “The country cannot try to escape the battle with Islam by withdrawing from Afghanistan and Iraq, he said, for such a withdrawal would have ‘not just long-term consequences, but immediate consequences.'” Plus this: “Mr. Kissinger noted that he had been asked to limit his remarks about Mr. Podhoretz to 10 minutes. ‘If I do, you can all say you were present at a historical event,’ he said. Indeed he made the cutoff.” Sounds like the Power Line Book Award was a big event. Sorry I couldn’t make it.
