American Values

TOP TEN KISSINGER QUOTES




“It is an act of insanity and national humiliation to have a law prohibiting the President from ordering assassination.” ( Statement at a National Security Council meeting , 1975)




Chile: “I don't see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist due to the irresponsibility of its people. The issues are much too important for the Chilean voters to be left to decide for themselves.”




“The illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional takes a little longer.” (from March 10, 1975 Meeting With Turkish Foreign Minister Melih Esenbel in Ankara, Turkey)

she hails him as a champion of a values-driven foreign policy.


''America, he, Kissinger, reminds us, succeeds by standing up for our values, not shirking them, and leads by engaging peoples and societies, the sources of legitimacy, not governments alone.''




Ive had good friends and families I've known over years die because of his values. Some in Vietnam, some in Argentina and some in Chile.

Kissinger sucks, no doubt about it, but neither he nor Hillary are the indisputable

arbitrators of American values.
