3. Kissinger? Oh thank god. The voice of reason.
Maybe he will convince us to fly a few illegal bombing runs into Syria and wherever the hell else we want. :banghead:

4. He is being wholly disengenious.
Iraq would become what it is becoming, a confederation of 3 largely theocratic regions.

They want people to think Iraq would turn into afghanistan if we left, that is basically the crux of that argument, and it is rediculous.

7. Kissinger - 'it wasn't an oil war - it a clash of cultures'
Some more misdirection from the Consultant for the Standard Oil Chase Manhattan JP Morgan cartel.

Henry Kissinger - 'the let me explain it for you' sower of CONfusion.
The man who weaves Gold from Shit.

Spin us Henry, spin us some tunes, Crank Me Up Henry - never stop, never stop, Neverstop

11. Some more dribble from the dick.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/08/11/AR2005081101756.html

"America's emotional exhaustion with the war and the domestic travail of Watergate had reduced economic and military aid to Vietnam by two-thirds, and Congress prohibited military support, even via airpower, to the besieged ally. None of the countries that had served as guarantors of the agreement was prepared to lift a diplomatic finger."

Henry are you trying to tell us that another Watergate would lead us to another defeat. Would you like Fitzgerald to go away Henry? I bet you would. Who do you blame for Watergate Henry - the Nixon you backed? Who do you blame for Traitorgate - the Bush you backed? Henry you look a bit worn lad - isn't it time to send in George Willful, Charles Krautyammer and Jim Hoagland to take the CONfusion to the enemy.

Henry you old Devil we are on to you like stink on a Chimp - call it Obsession if you want because we are onto John Warner too - if you get my drift.

8. Ah fuck you Henry Kissinger
I just read Clinton's bio. He had some interesting things to say about Kissinger and the election in 68. The repukelicans were playing games during elections way back then - no surprise there. Kissinger also was one of the few who paid no price for Watergate. He is a fucking traiterous asshole. He is responsible for the deaths of many of our boys in Vietnam. He will be going straight to hell when he finally leaves this planet.

So his opinion means shit to me.

14. "The Trial of Henry Kissinger"
Christopher Hitchens may well be a "gin soaked popinjay" these days but he did sterling work with the book, "The Trial of Henry Kissinger". If you've not read it or seen the accompanying documentary then I heartily recommend you do so.

9. Up Is Down, Left Is Right
The revisionist history about this invasion continues unabeted on Corporate Media. They treat this slimeball like some great super diplomat yet avoid mentioning how he's been part of the problem of American policy in that region for over 35 years.

This asshat sold out the Kurds in '75...giving Saddam not only the green light to start his exploitation of those people, but helped his rise to power. He also sold out to the oil interests...giving a wink and a nod to the Shah and the Saudis to raise oil prices and use them as a political weapon...while he profited and we've been paying ever since.

Of course Leslie didn't mention that Kissiniger "consults" the Kuwaiti and Saudis and continues to profit from the blood and misery that flows in this region.

Asking Kissinger for an honest anal-ysis is like asking Leslie to do some honest reporting...it's just not possible!

13. Spot on. Kick and Recommended.
Say Henry - what do you think of $3.00 gallon of gas?

Henry says " vell in der lange view dis could be gut for Amerika since yadadadada blaablaablaa but dats not to say that yammer yammer yammer dribble drivel dribble or as my good friend Alan Greenspin would say we need to factor in the exubberance of the findlehoff factor ..."

Thank you Henry that makes things fuzzy enough for today's purposes. By the way the check for your appearance is in the mail and is in Euros as you requested. Should we send it to your drop box in the Cayman Islands?

10. The idiots in the Bush Admnistration increased the possibility that
Iraq would turn into a radical islamic state when they overthrew a secular ruler.

12. Kissinger has several thriving businesses - if he is free enough to
appear on tv and pimp for the right wing this Sunday morning - you can be sure he's also pimping one of his businesses- which one?
