Rumsfeld caught dining with Kissinger

RAW STORY

(from paid-restricted Roll Call: http://www.rollcall.com/issues/51_61/hoh/11525-1.html)

Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and erstwhile Nixon Secretary of State and Vietnam War architect Henry Kissinger were caught dining together last Thursday at Washington's Bistro Bis, ROLL CALL reports Monday. Excerpts:

#

The former secretary of State arrived first and waited a good 15 minutes for Rummy. While he waited, sources say he ordered a Virgin Mary. (Who knows, maybe Kissinger wanted to stay sober to remember the moment in the event Rumsfeld apologized for that little spat that dates back to the day when he accused Kissinger of being too slow to pull out of Vietnam.)

Rummy drank white wine, our sources say. And it appeared they had a “chummy, nice, relaxing dinner,” said Angela Phelps, director of publicity at Regnery Publishing, who dined at a nearby table.

Phelps said that when Kissinger and Rumsfeld got up to leave Bis, they were nearly mobbed with folks taking pictures and wanting to chat with them. Clearly, Rumsfeld’s constituency dines at Bis: One former GOP Congressional staffer stopped the secretary to say he supported and appreciated the administration’s efforts in Iraq.

Scum of the earth.

Hey, Henry. What, you don't already have enough blood on your hands?

His number one client is the saudi royal family.

Ok, I know you want the links. But I got them all here, years ago. We've been trough it all.

Kissinger is good friends and business partners with Pete Peterson, chair of the Council of Foreign Relations, and co-founder of the Blackstone Group; the company which held the mortgage on WTC 7. I imagine this is why Kissinger resigned from the 9/11 commission, due to "business conflicts." :puke:

... the one Perle used to chair

and, of course, he's honorary chairman of the Nixon Center Board of Directors ... amazing how these people belong to so many organizations ... how do they find the time?

Isn't Kissinger on the board of Bechtel?

cock-a-roaches and licked the remainder of the dinner from the big cock-a-roaches bellies.

Goddamn sickening!


Donald Rumsfeld is easy to pick out, 'eh?

I don't care if those two are big tippers (probably not!) -- I would simply not want to bring them anything, let alone food!

"then we will lick the blood from each others fingers"

What a cute couple !

They both make Hannibal Lecter look like small potatoes.

"Rumsfeld caught dining with Kissinger"

It also seems to me that there's something odd about the headline, if not the story itself. I feel like there's a really crucial predicate missing... like the headline was supposed to be "Rumsfeld caught dining on human flesh with Kissinger", but an editor decided to water down the breaking news aspect of it or something. A smell conspiracy...

:tinfoilhat:

The damage they have done to this country and the military will go down in history!!!

Or discussing when to release more real information on the JFK hit?

BTW... what a great pic! Where did you find it, and are there more like that?

comes out! Looks like that crew goes back a long time together.

Found the photo in google images under Rumsfeld + Kissinger:

Also that photo appears in google images under Kissinger + Nixon:

Here's one I absolutely LOOOOVE! It's NIXON BOWLING!



Found it in google images under "Nixon bowling" :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

Somewhere there's a photo of Nixon strolling along the beach in California in his suit. I gotta see that one again.

day as the Elvis/DEA badge photo.

I have an 11x14 of it in color somewhere I got it from the WH years ago.

On edit...

OMG.... look at this fucking picture...



Is there any doubt the fucker was insane?

I can't stand Kissinger but I really feel for him in that photo! Holy moly.

I'm going to stash this one away to show other people.

No, there's no doubt in my mind. These Republicans really take that momentary power personally, don't they?
They just can't handle it properly. They aren't strong enough inside.

He looks something like Donald Sutherland in the science fiction movie about Body Snatchers.

the War room.

And what a cast of characters in there... some kind of cleric, a General (Abrhams, I think) someone in what appears to be a jogging suit..

WTF?

Assuming it is fall/winter, that would be morning light in the Oval Office... really early


Could this be an ass chewing for the Cambodia Incursion of Nov 71?

left. Here's a photo of both with Haldeman wearing the familiar crewcut:



I read that after he was Nixon's campaign director, Jeb Magruder was Bob Haldeman's aide. That could be the back of their heads. Whatever they were doing, it probably wasn't a scheduled meeting for all of them since the ones in the chairs are really not dressed for work.

Too bad there isn't a tape for THAT meeting.

Obviously, Kissinger's on the left, the next one is not readily recognizable, the one with the pipe would be Mitchell, the officer would probably be Haig, then there's everybody's friend Dick, the next one is also open to speculation, and the last one would be Haldeman.

Kissinger looks too fat, though, and the profile's not incredibly convincing, and Nixon doesn't look quite right either.

What is the origin of this photo? Is it for real?

Now that I have seen it on a better monitor.

Mea Culpa.

You've nailed Mitchell. Now that's great. Here's a frontal pipe Mitchell!





On edit: Here's a pudgy Kissinger:


Across from Kissinger (pudgy while sitting down), is George H. W. Bush. in the center of the photo is Dick Cheney. You recognize the guys around Kissinger.

:eyes:


edit: The Bistro Bis...? Is that one of the joints on the north side of the Anacostia just east of the I-295? I think I've been there...
yikes

is the right wing publisher that publishes Coulter's books, and other wackos. Sounds like the press needed some "Christmas money" at the expense of the taxpayers.

the average run of humanity... and fancy themselves to have some sort of privilege to decide things like, who should starve (Kissinger) or who should go to war (Rumsfeld)... or, in the case of both of them, who should be allowed to live.

I think playing God is a very dangerous thing for small men to do.

i heard that kissinger once called rumsfeld the most ruthless man he had ever known --

quite a statement considering kissinger's circle of acquiantences.

anyone else hear this or have a link?

grudging admiration for someone he considered that ruthless.

What was up with Henry's love life, I wonder? Long, long, ago, they used to run stories about sharp-looking but serious youngish (but not young) women who supposedly had the hots for the handsome Henry. I don't recall if he ever permanently committed to any of them.

You have to wonder. It's almost like he and Condoleezza Rice are these sexless automatons, with no particular private life... only there to further the interests of megalomaniacal presidents (such as Nixon or Junior).
