Finally!

Post by Vander »

Finally!
Henry Kissinger died on Wednesday at his home in Connecticut, his consulting firm said in a statement. The notorious war criminal was 100.

Measuring purely by confirmed kills, the worst mass murderer ever executed by the United States was the white supremacist terrorist Timothy McVeigh. On April 19, 1995, McVeigh detonated a massive bomb at the Murrah federal building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people, including 19 children. The government killed McVeigh by lethal injection in June 2001. Whatever hesitation a state execution provokes, even over a man such as McVeigh — necessary questions about the legitimacy of killing even an unrepentant soldier of white supremacy — his death provided a measure of closure to the mother of one of his victims. “It’s a period at the end of a sentence,” said Kathleen Treanor, whose 4-year old McVeigh killed.

McVeigh, who in his own psychotic way thought he was saving America, never remotely killed on the scale of Kissinger, the most revered American grand strategist of the second half of the 20th century.

Nothing like gloating over a mans death. Sounds like Hamas gloating over a innocent Jew's death.

You don't care that he killed millions of people?

Besides, he lived to be 100. That's longer than you or I will probably reach.

The man kissed up to dictators, military generals and despots in Latin America, more so than in any other theater of the world. Does Pinochet ring a bell? Because of his policies, he's indirectly involved with the killings, torture and secret kidnappings of millions, all through his dealings and support of these dictators, all under the guise of dealing with terrorists, which eventually spread terrorism to 3 continents. His policies contributed to the continuing repression and economic despair currently existing in Latin America to this day. We're now paying for that today in the flood of South American immigrants crossing our southern border. The man was a pox, and so was Nixon.

Why, you don't care Hamas singled out and killed women and babies. And how did he kill millions?

Let's see. He was behind the carpet bombing of Cambodia, all the killings and secret kidnappings when he supported right wing juntas in South America, tacit support for the racist and white right wing government of South Africa, greenlighting the Indonesian dictator's invasion of East Timor in 1975 and let's not forget the whole East, West Palistani/Bengali mass rape and genocide affair after the British left. This list isn't even complete. Do an internet search yourself. Most of the bull★■◆● policies he was behind were sanctioned just to fight or counter our government's perceived commi threats to good old America. Oooooh, the commi boogeyman. The excuse of the day back then to support despots who killed MILLIONS.

In Cambodia it was Pol Pot that was responsible for the deaths of millions of Cambodian...not Kissenger. And what the papers printed were what the govt. wanted you to know. So all the deaths in the middle are the responsibility of who ? Obama, Biden, Blicken? for their back door deals with Iran?

Quit rewriting history trying to absolve a man who so catastrophically damaged the world, especially in Cambodia with his policies, specifically the carpet bombing operation called "Operation Menu", which was essentially an extension of Nixon's illegal war. His policies destabilized the government of Cambodia, creating the instability that gave rise to the Khmer Rouge and Pol Pot. So there's no 2 ways about it. Kissinger gave Cambodia to Pol Pot. He has blood on his hands and nothing you say can change that.

I realize that. Johnson escalated it too, in a major way, so he and his cabinet are just as guilty of deepening that war. I won't defend them either since unlike woody, I'm not a party suckup. But Eisenhower got us into it and successive presidents kept it going. Nixon and Kissinger, though, spread the war into Cambodia, since the NV were using it's border region to stage attacks and run supply lines. It's their scorched earth policies that set the stage for the massive collateral deaths of thousands of civilians and the instability that allowed the takeover of that country by the horrific Khmer Rouge. Their policies broke Cambodia and genocide was the result, so it's on their hands. Nor did all that bombing even help our war effort. We still ended up pulling out of Southeast Asia. I'm not absolving any of them of the whole sordid affair, with perhaps the exception of Kennedy who MAY have decided to slowly withdraw. However, we'll never really know since he was assassinated and never completed his term.

Dude should’ve been hanged for treason before he ever had a chance to commit war crimes. That he is in any way celebrated is a shame on our country.
