and he has ties to the Obama Administration!
Kissinger is one of the king pins in the shadow government!
If anyone has more than a 2 minute sound bite memory..
GW Bush Named Kissinger to head up the 9/11 commission.
The ager and screams of the 9/11 families was ignored for over 1 year, until he was finally removed because he would not disclose his finanical businesses with Saudi Arabia, and the Royal Family of Saudi Arabia, and he would not reveal his clients in Saudi, which many families of 9/11 believed he worked for the Bin Laden Family!
That pig Kissinger should be in the hague..and should be spat upon by any and every American!
But one of the first things Obama did upon taking office..he sent Kissinger to Russia to represent his administration in Talks with Russia. Shortly after Obama took office.
Geithner was a Kissinger Protoge.
Do some research , I have posted it here often of the Obama/Kissinger ties.

Cold warrior Henry Kissinger woos Russia for Barack Obama http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/barackobama/4530042/Cold-warrior-Henry-Kissinger-woos-Russia-for-Barack-Obama.html Mr Obama apparently chose Mr Kissinger for his consummate diplomatic skills and his popularity in Moscow, an affection earned by his open acknowledgment of Russia's international resurgence.
Despite his pariah status with many Left-wingers in Mr Obama's Democratic Party, the president forged relations with Mr Kissinger during his campaign. The compliment was returned when the 85-year-old veteran of the Nixon and Ford administrations said last month that the young president was in a position to create a "new world order" by shifting US foreign policy away from the hostile stance of the Bush administration.
He publicly supported Mr Obama's notion of unconditional talks with Iran, though not at the presidential level.
Further demonstrating his willingness to work with his opponents on foreign policy issues, Mr Obama turned to two veteran Republicans steeped in Cold War experience to press home his plans.
Shortly after Mr Kissinger's trip, Richard Lugar, a Republican senator from Indiana who has worked on nuclear disarmament issues for 30 years, also visited Moscow. George Schultz, another former secretary of state, has also played a vital role.
