T
Mr. Kissinger/General Haig
- 4 - -
H:
Okay, sir.
K:
Good, hold on then.
Mr. Kissinger/The President
P:
Yeah.
K:
Mr. President.
P:
The way we would do this is -- before you tell me what it is --
to call him back in these precise terms. Tell him these are the principles
that I believe -- no, that I consider imperative. (1) First, the operation
must succeed; (2) success diplomatically as well as militarily must be
considered; (3) if it is militarily feasible, they must lean in the direction
of accomplishing a true air action alone in the first instance, having in
mind the fact that that might have a psychological impact which is
needed; (4) if, however, that proves to be militarily and overall inadequate,
again what is necessary to achieve success would have our support;
(5) the ground for the action on the ground as distinguishedfrom the air
must strictly be limited to Jordan. Invasion of Syria would be very
difficult. Bombing in Syria is not difficult. How does that sound to you?
K:
That sounds very good to me. Let me sum it up to make sure I.
You still want me to check Sisco first.
P:
No, that's all right. Go ahead. This is all right. He won't have
anything else to add.
K:
Right. As I understand it, you say that.
P:
These are five principles which should guide them.
K:
These five principles should guide them. The first I didn't quite
get down.
P:
The operation must succeed.
K:
The operation must succeed. (2)
P:
must succeed from a military and diplomatic and political
point of view.
