Kissinger's Karma...or just Kissinger revisionist history?

[nolies32fouettes]

I had some help digging through the web on Kissinger's statements. Seems he suffers from CRS disease, or he just makes things up.

He's been advising Bush at least once per week and mostly been on the "stay the course mentality"...until now of course. NOw he says the war is hopeless.

They're really digging through their Nixon White House connections to keep us on our toes.

I wrote a piece here but cannot post the first four paragraphs due to the webserver I use. So could someone else post it for me?

2. Kissinger is a soulless robot.

He is admired in political circles for being the sociopath he truly is. So it seems to any normal, sane person that his statements are inconsistent because he just says whatever he needs to to get what he wants at the moment. He has no conscience, no soul, and he sees no need to be consistent because in his world only power matters.

3. He's truly a piece of work . . .

I can't believe he's still breathing good oxygen, and further poisoning this country's foriegn policy. He should've been in prison for the last thirty years.

He has the blood of a million Cambodian innocents on his hands. A neutral, sovereign nation blown to smithereens. For no reason whatsoever.

4. Everything that has gone wrong in Iraq has the War Criminal's fingerprints.

Good call. The revelation about Kissinger was the most important one in the book. The media silence has been deafening and baffling. Kissinger is the most notorious war criminal to ever win a peace prize.

Kissinger is famous for saying that America lost Viet Nam because it lost its will. Also that troop withrdrawal is like salted peanuts, if you bring some troops home, Americans will only demand more. In 1972 October, he pretended to make peace with North Viet Nam to help Nixon's re-election. However, he did not show the treaty to DC or even to South Viet Nam. After the election, when North Viet Nam realized that it had been had, the US rewarded the North with Christmas bombs. That is what kind of character he has. His motto is "realpolitik"--to hell with morals or values, just do whatever the hell it takes to achieve the result that you, or nowadays, his clients at Exxon or in Saudi Arabia want. He is the Supreme Ass Kisser. Oh, and he participated in some of the nastiest war crimes that have ever occured in this hemisphere, down in South America.

His first words, when told about the planned invasion of Iraq were an expression of concern about how to keep Sunnis in power and Shias out of power. That should tell you a lot about how he has been advising W. and where his loyalties lie.

I believe that it is quite likely that in 1972, he and Nixon arranged to get Pakistan started on its nuclear weapons program, in order to provide "balance" to India's new nuclear program, since they both detested Indira Ghandi and feared the Indian-Soviet alliance. I suspect that he is being blackmailed by Pakistan and that this is why Pakistan retains its most favored muslim nation status despite the fact that it openly harbors terrorists. This last paragraph is speculation on my part, but it fits with current and past history and giving Pakistan nuclear secrets is the kind of dumb ass thing he and Nixon would do.

Here is a cartoon I did about Kissinger advising W., I call it "GOP Nuts, Or Would You Hire Henry Kissinger to Run a War": http://www.grandtheftelectionohio.com/060930.htm

Here is "Nixonians Pt. 13: The World's Poison" : http://www.grandtheftelectionohio.com/061013.htm

Finally, here is my DU entry about Kissinger from Oct 11 in which I describe what I thought he was telling W. to do in Iraq and how he was to blame for a lot of the chaos there. http://journals.democraticunderground.com/McCamy%20Taylor/37

5. That's McCain's logic...

"Kissinger is famous for saying that America lost Viet Nam because it lost its will. Also that troop withrdrawal is like salted peanuts, if you bring some troops home, Americans will only demand more."

and why he's calling for MORE troops.

6. Kissinger's backstabbing of Bush cements the "Bush as scapegoat" program

I was working out and only read the news ticker but laughed out loud.
Stick a fork in it, Bush is the Republican scapegoat and will be used to distract from the fact that it is the REPUBLICANS who are the Pnac tools. Not the lameduck puppet president.

7. That's where we come in. WE TIE THEM TOGETHER &

we continue to be the media.

8. and what about that Nobel Peace Prize for Kissinger?

Nobel Peace Prize Laureates

1973 Henry Kissinger and Le Duc Tho
Le Duc Tho, awarded the 1973 Nobel Peace Prize jointly with US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. They received the Prize for negotiating the Vietnam peace accord. Le Doc Tho said that he was not in a position to accept the Prize, giving as his reason the situation in Vietnam.


<also puzzling>
1976 Milton Friedman (economics), he's done more to cause suffering to increase than even Bush, I'll bet, if all could be totaled somehow.

1993 F W de Klerk (with Mandela) -de Klerk's career? ugh.
1994 Yasser Arafat, Shimon Peres, Yitzhak Rabin -Arafat? Clinton had the Jews giving him almost EVERYTHING and he still wanted to go the terrorism route. Peace prize?
