Kissinger Spends Lots of Time At The White House

Henry Kissinger, my former "neighbor" back in Connecticut, has been many things. Among them, he's been identified as a War Criminal; there are places he cannot go because to do so would risk his arrest on charges he has eluded trial on for decades.

Now, drawn from Bob Woodward (of Watergate infamy), we learn that Kissinger is spending quite significant blocks of time at the White House. If he's there to counsel on how to lose a war big time (since Kissinger definitely played a large role in losing the Vietnam war), I would think the Bushies are doing a fine job of that on their own.

Kissinger is also a huge believer in secrecy and that the president should have unlimited powers in doing whatever nastiness and dirty tricks he wants. Again, the Bushies would not seem to need help in treating the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights like toilet paper.
