Related: About this forumSome quotes from Her Majesty's good friend Henry (war criminal) Kissinger
1. Soviet Jews: The emigration of Jews from the Soviet Union is not an objective of American foreign policy. And if they put Jews into gas chambers in the Soviet Union, it is not an American concern. Maybe a humanitarian concern. (link)
2. Bombing Cambodia: [Nixon] wants a massive bombing campaign in Cambodia. He doesn't want to hear anything about it. It's an order, to be done. Anything that flies or anything that moves. (link)
3. Bombing Vietnam: "It's wave after wave of planes. You see, they can't see the B-52 and they dropped a million pounds of bombs ... I bet you we will have had more planes over there in one day than Johnson had in a month ... each plane can carry about 10 times the load of World War II plane could carry." (link)
4. Khmer Rouge: How many people did (Khmer Rouge Foreign Minister Ieng Sary) kill? Tens of thousands? You should tell the Cambodians (i.e., Khmer Rouge) that we will be friends with them. They are murderous thugs, but we wont let that stand in the way. We are prepared to improve relations with them. Tell them the latter part, but dont tell them what I said before. (Nov. 26, 1975 meeting with Thai foreign minister)
5. Dan Ellsberg: Because that son-of-a-bitchFirst of all, I would expectI know him wellI am sure he has some more information---I would bet that he has more information that hes saving for the trial. Examples of American war crimes that triggered him into it
Its the way hed operate
.Because he is a despicable bastard. (Oval Office tape, July 27, 1971)

From Alternet:
What we know about Dr K just scratches the surface, genocides on five continents and all. Imagine what this guy's real impact has been?
