Henry Kissinger believes Barack Obama misstated his views on diplomacy with US adversaries and is not happy about being mischaracterized. He says: "Senator McCain is right. I would not recommend the next President of the United States engage in talks with Iran at the Presidential level. My views on this issue are entirely compatible with the views of my friend Senator John McCain. We do not agree on everything, but we do agree that any negotiations with Iran must be geared to reality."

After the interview, Ms. Couric faced the camera and added a postscript. “Incidentally, we confirmed Henry Kissinger’s position following our interview,” she said, explaining that Mr. Kissinger supports talks “without preconditions.”
The above sounds to me like Couric took liberties in explaining to her audience just what it was she asked Kissinger and just what his reponse really was.
The former Sec. of State never did anything without agme plan first.Ms Couric is way off base here.
Katie is not a liar, she’s just not very bright.
Thanks for the post. Kudos to you. Good catch!
Good thing nobody saw the interview! (except like Katie’s relatives etc)
Kissinger’s position will be discussed by the media in the next days due to debates, will be a great point to point out that Couric misstated his position too.
Guess CBS takes their talking points from Obama’s campaign too as if we didn’t know that. Since Couric did all she could to make Palin look bad, that is a great find.
Where oh where is the Uhhbummer Troof Squat, when you need them????

That Kissinger quote should be delivered to Couric embedded in a deep-dish pie.
I would not believe anything that Katie Couric says!!!!!
Were Katie's lips moving?
If so, that would have to be a "yes."
I saw part of that program that had the former Secretaries of State. I don’t recall any of them recommending engaging in talks at the Presidential level. Some(including Kissinger, I think) did suggest meetings with Iran at the Secretary of State level.
Why the rhetorical question in this headline? It’s a matter of record that Couric lied since Kissenger has said he never said what she has implied.
Commie Katie Colic
Of course, couric lied, as did o-dummy last night.
Kissinger immediately released a statement last night correcting the lie.
Can he possibly have nerve enough to disagee with both The One and The Perky One?
Nothing Mz Perky does or says should surprise anyone. What is surprising is why the heck would Palin so much as return a call from Couric much do an interview with her. For that matter, why would McCain ever subject himself to Letterman? They know they’re going to get fried on all these shows but yet they keep showing up.
Dan Rather: "Oh, Mr. President, Peace be unto you. If only you knew how
much I and your other servants at CBS support, worship, bow, grovel and kneel to you.
We will forever reserve the name "President" ONLY for you and our other greatly beloved terrorists."
Did Katie Couric spesk? If she spoke, then she lied.
Time for MO officials to arrest Courics goofy ass.
