So what do the Republicans expect?

Henry Kissinger expresses concern about the way the war in Iraq is playing out in the U.S.

"For me, the tragedy of Vietnam was the divisions that occurred in the United States that made it, in the end, impossible to achieve an outcome that was compatible with the sacrifices that had been made," former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger told CNN's "Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer."

Support for the war has dropped in recent polls, and criticism of President Bush's handling of the conflict has grown. The latest CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll, taken Aug. 5-7, found that 54 percent of those surveyed thought the 2003 invasion of Iraq was a mistake.

The Bush administration functions politically by applying wedge issues and exacerbating divisions among voters.

What reaction does the good Monsieur Kissinger expect to this set of political tactics? Unity around the White House and its' unnecessary war?
