This is dumb. As if Kissinger has no other accomplishments to his credit. He is a high-profile name with an intimate knowledge of how government works. He is therefore a good choice. After all, he's not being asked to decide anything remotely connected to the abortion issue. As for Hitchens-- amusing as he is, he's the man who trashed Mother Teresa, remember?

Henry Kissinger, the greatest Secretary of State of the postwar era, made some mistakes, this being one of them. This still has NOTHING TO DO with the position he was named for.

I was upset when the Dems brought up Faso's pro-LIFE views when he was running for state COMPTROLLER. I now must condemn my fellow conservatives for denouncing Kissinger for a viewpoint that has NO RELATION to the position that Dr. Kissinger was named to.

Poly want a cracker?  You sound more like a parrot than a poster.

This thread has nothing to do with abortion at all, only in your own mind.  Get a grip, get a life.  Your cause is a good one but you aren't doing it any good.

IMO this was a bad move.

Kissinger will lend absolutely zero credibility to any investigation. It might even be fair to say that his involvement will create more problems and conspiracy type issues than it would solve. I can hear it now: What? One of the build-a-burgers wasn't available so "they" tapped Henry? This is a huge mistake, but it should play well on the History Channel.

So, I see the ant-Catholic bigots are out in full force tonight. I am amazed that an article from a pro-life site could cause such an uproar on a supposed conservative site.

I reckon these folks were told, and shouted at, to "get a life".
They ignored the savants, on both sides, and did their best to save lives.

Polycarp...You will have done a great injustice to the human beings that have, and will, be killed via abortion if you ever become intimidated enough to stop speaking on the Right To Life.

I'm especially sorry that some of this comes from those in the Grand Ol' Party.

I am Broken Glass Republican...Pro-Life, Pro-Choice, I don't care...I vote REPUBLICAN!!! Whoever wins the primary gets my support.

BUT!!!

Single issue freaks like you make me question the Pro-Life stance. I've never seen a Pro-Choice Republican attempting to slant anything and everything towards their ideology like some of you freaks do. And I'm getting tired of supporting your candidates, without fail, when you NEVER support mine (ANY Republican is better than ANY DemocRAT). I might just decide to return the favor one day.

Actually this is quite an entertaining thread, for those not reading any of your responses. I'm hungry. Anybody know of a good pro-life restaurant? What suitably pro-life route should I take to get there, in my pro-life automobile?

Oh the transcendent irony of it all: if the blind Mr. Chairman to investigate what happened is the Minister of Molech, Abortion Evangelist, and Advocate in Chief, for that hideous sin which could very well have made us God's target. What will he find? That we didn't do enough to convince the Saudi's to murder their little martyrs before they were born? Are Saudi babies WMD's ?!?!?!? Just wait until the Chinese male surplus reaches a critical mass, then the American children that have survived gestation can just kissinger their fannies goodbye.

...backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful, who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

[Man of the Right]

As the understatement of the year, Kissinger's appointment and the Commission's 18-month life are designed to bury the inquiry. But not because of Kissinger's abortion stance. At his age, he hasn't gotten anybody pregnant recently. The Saudis have made Kissinger a multi-millionaire. That's the issue. There will be no inquiry. After standing for the Saudi national anthem, the Commission will report the 9-11 hijackers acted alone. Just 21 White Christian American-born gun-owning male U.S. citizens of European ancestry who destroyed the twin towers to protest Waco and Ruby Ridge. The Commission will maintain that our "friends", the Saudis, nearly succeeding in preventing the attack but were prevented from doing so by the Israelis.

What does 9/11 have to do with abortion? NOTHING!What a stupid asricle.

If you read the so-called Kissinger Report on Population (and I have read most of it) it is not entirely a bad document.

In the report it identifies MANY parts to the population control issue that have nothing whatsoever to do with contraceptives or abortion .... such as reducing corruption in governemnts, education and skill training (particularly for girls/women), non-reproductive health care and nutrition initiatives (particularly for women and children) .... etc. Unfortuntely, it also talks about contraception and abortion in coercive terms (basically bribing countries to include contraceptive measures and abortion as part of "health care" or they don't get aid).

The report itself is much broader based than contraception/abortion as a means to population control. Only about 10% pertains to those. To characterize the report as only about contraception/abortion would be inaccurate.

The criticism that the impetus to population control is for USA financial and security interests, non humanitarian on behalf of developing countries, IS, a fair criticism of the report.
