May you rot in hell, Henry!!!

Speaking to The Phnom Pen Post’s George McLeod about Cambodia’s war crimes court, Linguist and author Noam Chomsky, who has written extensively on the Khmer Rouge and the Vietnamese occupation in the 1980s, says that any court that would not take into account Henry Kissinger or the other authors of the American bombing of Cambodia and the support of the KR (Khmer Rouge) after they were kicked out of the country would be a farce, especially with what we know now about the bombing since the release of the Nixon tapes.

Ben Kiernan, who released the documentation of the Nixon tapes, concluded that this bombing, had genocidal intent. The following is the documented order by Kissinger to bomb Cambodia: “A massive bombing campaign in Cambodia. Anything that flies on anything that moves.” The bombings, which were greater than all the bombing by the U.S. in WWll, played a significant factor in making the KR a mass army of what they call enraged peasants bent on revenge.

As a veteran who served in Southern Thailand in 1969 at the very base that carried out these genocidal bombings, I recall receiving a letter from a close friend who was there after I had been discharged in 1970. He wrote that “the B-52’s are flying 24-7, somethings going on.”

Having witnessed from far away (fortunately) what these bombs could do in an accidental bomb dump explosion which will never leave my mind, I have a frightening idea of the horror the people of Cambodia must have gone through. May Henry and company rot in hell forever!!!
