Sanders calls Kissinger '€˜destructive,' blasts the Beest for praising him
2016-02-12
[Wash Times] Vermont Sen. Bernard Sanders said former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger was "not my kind of guy," and attacked rival Hillary Clinton for speaking of him highly in a previous debate and in a book review because of his role in the Vietnam War.

Mr. Sanders called Mrs. Clinton's praising words for Mr. Kissinger "rather amazing."

"Because I happen to believe that Henry Kissinger was one of the most destructive secretaries of state in the modern history of this country," Mr. Sanders said. "I am proud to say that Henry Kissinger is not my friend. I will not take advice from Kissinger."

Mr. Sanders blames Mr. Kissinger for creating the instability in Cambodia because of the bombing that happened in 1970 and creating a vacuum for the Khmer Rouge and dictator Pol Pot to flourish.

"So count me in as somebody who will not be listening to Henry Kissinger," he said.
Little wonder Sanders enjoys such a following. Kissinger's misdeeds in SE Asia paled in comparison to his adoration of the Communist Chinese and massive wealth accumulation. In that regard, the Clintons, Bernie Madoff, and Henry have a great deal in common. Unfortunately, only one has been successfully convicted.
