Henry Kissinger, love him or hate him, is a genius. I’ve met him and it’s as obvious as a large birthmark. But he’s older than the dirt under Lilith’s fingernails. And you don’t get four stars in the Marine Corps by being dull. Otherwise, you may be right.
I won’t argue the Four Star but how long ago did you meet Kissinger? FWIW a friend of mine was chauffeuring Kissinger as a Marine MP and the K Man asked him to play tennis with him lacking anyone else to play. Some time around ‘69. He said he was a real a-hole.
