The Noble Lie

Wow. Barack Obama sends HENRY KISSINGER to Russia for peace talks.

The Daily Telegraph has learned that the 85-year-old former US secretary of state met President Dmitry Medvedev for secret negotiations in December. According to Western diplomats, during two days of talks the octogenarian courted Russian officials to win their support for Mr Obama's initiative, which could see Russia and the United States each slashing their nuclear warheads to 1,000 warheads.

The decision to send Mr Kissinger to Moscow, taken by Mr Obama when he was still president-elect, is part of a plan to overcome probable Republican objections in Congress.

Kissinger was part of Obama's team pre-election? I never heard that little gem. Of course, many of us know that Obama has rubbed elbows with these Trilateral Commission boys since at least the days he attended Columbia U. during Mr. Brzezinski's tenure.

But who would've thought we'd actually send Dr. Strangelove to Russia. Hmmm.. time to listen to McCain's "Orwellian" comments again.

In related coziness, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner is a former employee of Kissinger Associates, Inc.
