Poll - Clinton - Sanders

“Kissinger is a friend, and I relied on his counsel when I served as secretary of state,” Clinton revealed in the review. “He checked in with me regularly, sharing astute observations about foreign leaders and sending me written reports on his travels.”

I tend to fall on the side of "it is", especially given that it prolonged that war by 5 years and cost a horrific number of lives.

As though, on a site consisting of 85% BS supporters, you don't already know the outcome before you post.

I enjoy the pretense, though, pretending that DU is reflective of the Party - which, in case you haven't noticed, does NOT consist of 85% Bernie supporters.

Which goes to show that the "Kissinger connection" you're on about isn't of interest to the average voter.

How can Hillary say she is the candidate of the children but ignore the ones we kill everyday?

How can we afford continuous war but not healthcare for all?

I just don't understand the lack of compassion.

spoke to him while she was SoS. It is entirely possible for bad people to have useful knowledge.

Kissinger-- expanded war in SE Asia
Hillary-- wants to expand wars in SW Asia

Kissinger-- supported coup in Chile
Hillary-- supported coup in Honduras

And because Jimmy Carter listened to Kissinger, he allowed the Shah of Iran to enter the US, which triggered the Iranian occupation of the US Embassy in Tehran which ultimately led to Carter's defeat in the 1980 election.

Really, Kissinger should be a pariah, rather than an "elder statesman"
