Forward: This is the same man who said: “In [General Alexander Haig's] presence, Kissinger referred pointedly to military men as ‘dumb, stupid animals to be used’ as pawns for foreign policy.” (Henry Kissinger, in a book by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein (Simon & Schuster, 1976) The Final Days, p. 194.)… Bet you didn't know that–Bob Barney.
The Anti-Defamation League says a 1973 discussion between President Richard M. Nixon and his top foreign policy adviser at the time, Henry Kissinger, released as part of the Nixon tapes archiving project, “shows a disturbing and even callous insensitivity” toward Soviet Jews, “but should not change history’s verdict on the important contributions and ultimate legacy” of Kissinger.
In a conversation at the White House, Kissinger, the then-national security adviser to President Nixon, remarked: “The emigration of Jews from the Soviet Union is not an objective of American foreign policy. And if they put Jews into gas chambers in the Soviet Union, it is not an American concern. Maybe a humanitarian concern.”
President Nixon replied, “I know. We can’t blow up the world because of it.”
