(Democratic debate) Sanders condemns ‘destructive’ Kissinger and slams his Cambodia policy

[geovalin]

US presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is going on the attack against a former secretary of state _ not Hillary Clinton, but Henry Kissinger.
Sanders is trying to impugn Clinton's foreign policy judgment by pointing out that Clinton has boasted of praise from Kissinger. The 92-year-old was secretary of state until 1977.

Sanders says Kissinger was “one of the most destructive secretaries of state in the history of this country.'' He's blasting Kissinger's role in US policy toward Cambodia decades ago.

Clinton is trying to turn the tables by pointing out that Sanders has faced tough questions about where he's getting his foreign policy advice. Sanders responds, “Well, it ain't Henry Kissinger.''

Well, the NVN had a huge resupply operation in Cambodia and NVN and VC soldiers would simply retreat from combat into camps in Cambodia where they could thumb their noses at American troops. The depots and camps needed to be taken out.

It is quite worrying to see that the US seems to favour these two Candidates as future president, Sanders, that old communist fool and the nutcase Trump. Just imagine any of the two really moves into the white House!

God help us all!

If so, I would advise them to stay away from grassy knolls.

For those with short memories, I remember how many US Servicemen died while we waited for Kissinger's Peace with Honor
