Gee, I didn't think Cain gave a bad answer to any of Big Lib David Gregory's "gotcha" questions....
Kissinger,...let's review, Negotiated Paris Peace Accords (led to the end of American Conflict in Vietnam), SALT Treaty and a detente, (which toned down the Cold War a notch or two), Negotiated the end of the 1971 India-Pakistan War, (which liberated Bangledesh, and kept China and Russia from taking it over). Opened up "relations" with China, who we wrote off after Korea. Negotiated an end to the 1973 Yom Kippur War, (where Egypt and Syria attacked Israel), and kept Israel from turning them into polished glass,..(probably should have but,...)The Rhodesian Bush War, got a thug out of power, with a Diplomatic Attitude Adj. from Kissinger. He is also a Army Veteran, who served in the 84th Inf. Division, and volunteered for hazardous intelligence missions during the Battle Of The Bulge.
This is just some of the highlights, sure there was controversy with some policy,..just like today. But HK is a pillar of foreign policy, that has been utilized by every POTUS after Nixon.
John Bolton, got plenty of European, and other countries UN ambassadors pissed for his candid and blunt tone. (That's not a bad thing)... Was dismissed from negotiations with N. Korea, in 2003, because he called Kim Jong Il, a brutal dictator...(Wrong?)
Worked as Asst. AG for Reagan, takes a hard stance against Palestine, supports Israel, had Iran dead to rights, on nuclear proliferation in 2001.
The Democrats filibustered his nomination to ambassador,..(pissed off and scared the Dems,...good thing.) Scared the establishment RINO's also.(good thing)..
He's not a big fan of the United Nations, and publicly stated so often. Believes in American Exceptionalism as the worlds last superpower...(that BHO is quickly ending).... Thought the UN Human Rights Council, with Libya, Syria, Rhwanda, and Cuba and Iran allowed to head that Council (as they rotate each year),...was/is a damn joke. (wrong?)
Either way mauler, your probably a decent young guy, that just can't do 5 minutes worth of research before you make a "yikes" post..
Here's a thought, back in 2008, in this here very Politics thread here at DRTV, go back in the archives right before the 08 elections. We had Paul supporters than also, very determined, and some even rabid member replies in their positions....It would be a good thing to review going forward.
