I'm pretty sure this wasn't from a botched joke.
From Henry Kissinger, as quoted in "Kiss the Boys Goodbye: How the United States Betrayed Its Own POW's In Vietnam":
“Military men are just dumb stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign policy.”
This from the former National Security Advisor under Nixon & Secretary of State under Nixon & Ford.....AND....regular advisor to Cheney & Bush on matters regarding the War in Iraq.
There are things people say that are accidental foot-in-mouth moments.
And then there are calculated statements such as these....

Kissinger was one ,or I should saw is one of the worst scumbags going. There is so much I can only suggest reading " The Trial of Henry Kissinger" by Chris Hitchings. I would say the man should be declared an enemy of the USA. He is also guilty of Crimes Against Humanity. It's because of ppl like him, that the US will not recognize "The World Court, for Crimes against Humanity.

As a paralyzed Vietnam Vet I will never forget John Kerry's traitorous remarks made years ago calling myself and my Brothers-in Arms all manner of names from "Baby-Killers" to "cowards" upon our return and now, our brave brothers and sisters are "stupid"?
I want to state that, 'Mr. John Kerry is not only a man of questionable honor but he should apologize for making statements that not only insult every brave young man and woman Serving but give yet again, "Aid and Comfort to the enemy.
We will now do everything humanly possible to mobilize the Conservative Base not necessarily to Vote to support current policy and Incumbents but to vote "against the Democrats" and the Nancy Pelosi San Francisco Values that party holds to!
This was the best thing he could have done to energize our base!
Now, how will the Far Left Wong ACLU Adoring Liberal Dems explain away this one...watch for the standard "disclaimers" mostly used for Dr Howard Dean and Nancy Pelosi "Foot-In-Mouth attacks...i.e.:
"He was mis-quoted" or maybe, "His statement was taken out of context" or maybe he meant it?

He was talking about LBJ who sent over 100,000 troops to vietnam while he was looking squarley into a TV camera and stating that he would not send one more american boy over there.
Kind of reminds of the democrat that said I DID NOT HAVE SEX WITH THAT WOMAN!
