Henry Kissinger Schools Obama

From ABC News:

Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger came to the defense of longtime friend Sen. John McCain following Friday's presidential debate saying he "would not recommend the next President of the United States engage in talks with Iran at the Presidential level."

"Senator McCain is right. I would not recommend the next President of the United States engage in talks with Iran at the Presidential level. My views on this issue are entirely compatible with the views of my friend Senator John McCain. We do not agree on everything, but we do agree that any negotiations with Iran must be geared to reality," Kissinger said in statement issued by the McCain campaign.

During the debate, Obama pointed to Kissinger to defend his position because the former secretary of state supports direct talks with high-level Iranians without preconditions. Kissinger does not, however, support the U.S. president personally engaging in those talks, a point which McCain sought to drive home during the debate.

Either Barack "just doesn't understand" or he assumed Kissinger would happily play along with his mischaracterization. You lose again, messiah. Go back to the south side of Chicago -- oh, excuse me -- Hyde Park -- with the rest of the area's rich, elite liberals and let the adults govern and defend the country.
