Kissinger's Story of Rhodesia Negotiations Is Classic Kissinger

The story of the negotiations is classic Kissinger. He's telling everyone what they want to hear and then kind of weaseling his way into getting people to sign things that make him look good. The Blacks, such as President Julius Nurere of Tanzania, insist that they did not give their approval to the details of the five point plan only to the general thrust of majority rule in two years. They say they would have rejected the proposal for white ministers. On October 24th, Mr. Kissinger said on television that I think everybody is telling the truth. That is the best bullshit statement I've ever.
