Dr. Henry Kissinger Dies at Age 100
(finance.yahoo.com)
Damn that graphic on Mobile. "Kissinger dies, YAHOO!"
"Arroooooo!" feels more appropriate
That's like the second best part of all this.
“Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands.”
-Anthony Bourdain
Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking. Witness what Henry did in Cambodia – the fruits of his genius for statesmanship – and you will never understand why he’s not sitting in the dock at The Hague next to Milošević.
Thanks for the clarification.
REST IN PISS
4 million deaths can be directly attributed to this asshole. Many, many, many more indirectly. He was the last member of the Nixon cabinet still alive.
Can't wait until it snows after they bury him so I can write my name when I piss on his grave
Bust out the Crown and Coke, bitches, we got a new Cambodian holiday!

That obituary is far too kind to him.
The Yale University historian Greg Grandin, author of the biography Kissinger’s Shadow, estimates that Kissinger’s actions from 1969 through 1976, a period of eight brief years when Kissinger made Richard Nixon’s and then Gerald Ford’s foreign policy as national security adviser and secretary of state, meant the end of between three and four million people. That includes “crimes of commission,” he explained, as in Cambodia and Chile, and omission, like greenlighting Indonesia’s bloodshed in East Timor; Pakistan’s bloodshed in Bangladesh; and the inauguration of an American tradition of using and then abandoning the Kurds.

if anyone fails to understand just how vile the guy was, Behind the Bastards dedicated six full episodes and said they were cutting it short at that:

Crap. Looks like I was the third person to make this joke. Screw it. Leaving the comment up. It merits the repetition.

If anyone needs to get an idea of why we celebrate Kissinger's death and lament that it didn't happen sooner and more painfully, this article is all one would need to read.
And along with it, they can get a damning picture of US foreign policy over the last half century and the lengths to which the ruling class will go to ensure they retain their power everywhere.
