Give it a rest! You want to be taken seriously, then act like it. I know a lot of people that worked very hard to get Pres Bush election all over the Country and I don't expect the President to choose for a position who I think he should.

Like I said -- it is articles like this that give the pro-life movement "zero" credibility. You all would get more support if you quit trying to make every issue about pro-life!

Thankfully it probably won't get much publicity other than the folks here discussing it.

Look at it this way, if Dr. Kissinger is busy working on this investigation, he can't possibly be pushing any 'Population Control' agenda around the world at the same time.

I was around when Nixon was president and Kissinger was first national Security adviser and then secretary of state.

Nixon was his own Secretary of state. But he was a real loner. Anyone who knew Nixon knew he had a half dozen people he dealt with and no one else.

Kissinger had all the power of a telephone. Nations, senators, congressmen, ambassadors et all, would talk to Kissinger. He would go talk to Nixon and then Kissinger got back to the contact with Nixon's decision. The only authority Kissinger had was to listen, ask Nixon and get back to the contact.

When Kissinger got appointed to be national security adviser he was a Professor at Harvard. Nixon came to trust him and soon the only way to do anything on foreign policy was see Henry. Henry would see Nixon and get back. The secretary of state did not like being out of the loop, so with the usual Nixon problem solving technique, Dick made Henry Secretary of state.

The media could not believe that any Republican president could tie his own shoes so they atributed every thing to Kissinger. Henry was their only real contact with the media on foreign affairs.

Even Jerry Ford ordered Kissinger around. Jerry, by the way, does a mean Kissinger imitation. It is a riot.

Nixon liked Henry because he was loyal, followed orders with German precision and kept his mouth shut.

Dubya Bush likes Henry because he is loyal, follows orders with German precision and keeps his mouth shut.

I do know that doing anything Nixon did not like or failure to do as you were told could cost you your job. That was one of his big problems. Nixons would just blow off steam and people like John Dean would go do it.
