President Richard Nixon talks with Henry Kissinger the day after Christmas. After discussing Kissinger's vacation with his children at Key Biscayne, FL, they talk about a bombing raid in Vietnam.

Beginning at 4:26, Nixon and Kissinger discuss the problems that India and Pakistan were then having over Bangladesh.

Kissinger mentions that his former boss Nelson Rockefeller called the day before to wish him Merry Christmas and to agree with Kissinger's stance on India and Pakistan. Unbeknownst to Kissinger, it was Nixon who called Rockefeller and asked him to call Kissinger, because Nixon believed that Kissinger was depressed and needed cheering up. In this conversation from two days before, you can hear Nixon asking Rockefeller to call Kissinger: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OrhVsuZY1c

gr8 to listen

nixon was made fool by india.

Anyway Nixon was not a true symbol of US culture. He deserved to be empitched. Kissinger ,who thought he was smart , seems literally fucked by Indian intelligence. That bastard ,deserves to be fucked.

Henri Kissinger probably thought he should repeat Hitler in his own turn. In the context of people's struggle for Bangladesh (separated from US friend Pakistan by a galactic distance by India) Kissinger might have seen a potential to show his war mania. This guy has been rewarded with Nobel 'peace' prize - for bringing about 3 million Vietnamese deaths mostly innocent and unarmed civilians who he advised US presidents to treat as communist guerrillas and decimate ?!

HAHAHAHA....... Nixon & his better half Kissinger, idiots on there policy of 1971. Well! we all had a chance to fix Pakistan in 1971, but these guys had other plan.

@krishna9170 Your information can not be more wrong. India did not stop fighting on the pressure by the USA, Pakistan surrendered on the Eastern theatre. And do you seriously think that arch rival USSR would even listen to what the USA has to say. USSR would have been more than happy if India occupied half of Pakistan. An ally in their area of interest(because of natural resources) would be nothing better than cherry on the icing.

@MarjorieBakre - even in a purely aetheric way for example, you can think of solutions to things and your thoughts are plucked by the evil and used in ways you'd never ever allow to happen. the amount of times i see some kind of war tech and start thinking aloudish about how it should be built, and i have to stop myself cause the evil is spying for info...imagine if i'd gone the usual path, went to work for some company like that - i'd be probably employed in it now...

*like, that should read, not lile

[JustSomePerson888]

@MarjorieBakre - i think it's more that as an advisor he gets misused. it's hard to explain, but i know what it's lile myself to be in no way in favor the military-industrial-complex etc but to become involved in it, usually due to extreme circumstances that threaten you in some way. ethically no it's better not to advise for war etc purposes, but in terms of what he tells them - it might be better to see it from a strategic point of view, ie not that it's agreed as being a good thing.

@MarjorieB 3M vietnamese, bombing of cambodia,iraq,afganistan etc this guy has millions of ppl's blood on his hands, and the bad thing like u said is he gets a nobel peace prize and he's still runnin shit with the rockefellers and zbignew brzinzski. these guys are mass murderers and they are still walking around freely. we need to hunt these globalist's down and prosecute them. we need 2 make a citizens arrest for war crimes and find a judge with some balls!!! who with me??? fuck the NWO!!!!

@UnhappyDreamer Continued .... And, India prevents foreign competition in its markets, still is stifled by bureacracy and has no respect for the rule of law, despite having received the blessings of British common law instruction.

[epspivey]

@UnhappyDreamer Who's insulting India? I agree that India deserves a place in international events. But .... India needs to clean up its corrupt society, its less than honest leaders and the injustices it commits against its own people. Yes ... Pakistan is a bad country, certainly no friend of the U.S. But, India was an ally of the Soviet Union during the Cold War. So, India sows the seeds of its own discord. And, it has major strides to take if it wants to be taken seriously.
