1. Ugh. If he had said she would be a horrible SOS that would be used against her too. And you know it.

9. NOT BY ME IT WOULDN'T
HK scares the hell out of me... him and Bob McNamara scare the hell out of me... have you seen BM in "The Fog of War"...it's like watching an interview with a concentration camp guard 40 years afterwards... cold dispassionate, psychotic. HK is the same way.

3. Only living guys I trust less than Henry Kissinger:
Dick Cheney
Bob McNamara...

yes I actually trust * more than HK.

If Nixon were alive I'd have to rate him a tie with HK along with the rest of the watergate actors.

11. It is disturbing, when you think about his "crimes" and machinations.
He's also a turn-coat too.

Kissinger was a man who was duplicitous and played both sides to get a means to an end. What he did was disastrous. I tend to view him more as being in the Cheney school of thought: a man, when placed in a position of power, using it as a way to promote bad policies for selfishness and wrongdoing.

Does his endorsement mean much? It may make you think twice.

15. Read the Shock Doctrine or The End of America.
Kissinger is a war criminal responsible for turning his back on the disappeared in South America.

16. Not really, Hillary is a likeable person
but even so, her original pro-war stance cost her the campaign which allowed a shoo-in for Senator Obama. Proof that a person who is consistently for peace is best able to get the support of the majority.

The whole idea of the "peace dividend" is that it creates the greatest amount of wealth for the largest number of people. Wars cause the concentration of wealth into fewer hands.

Don't think Kissinger would agree, he appears to operate on the level of Machivellian behavior.
