tina brown, an aunt ann coulter, henry and nancy kissinger, peggy noonan, , etc., etc.. why were you specific about using the word allele in that dedication? >> in this sort of crisis that i went through with the onslaught against me, people went out of their way to be supportive and some a few defected in became antagonistic so i wanted to show those recognition to those that were conspicuously supportive because the way the system works not just the in the united states come in with that degree of official attention is focused on a person there is the intent of those targeting him to ostracize and isolate him so all of those seven is writing about the united states i thought i would focus on americans but those that resisted that temptation and many of those came to visit me when i was aghast of the american people including henry kissinger i thought it was the least i could do and i was proud to do. i have many american friends and i am grateful to all of them. >> host: what is your next project? >> guest: the history of canada for any viewers that interested in canad

welcome back to face the nation n the long history of america, few men have had the influence of henry kissinger at least 60 years powerful people have asked what does henry think? and he has never been shy about telling them. >> dr. henry kissinger -- >> schieffer: he first appeared on this broadcast on november 10, 1957. he was a harvard professor and he had just written a book called nuclear weapons and foreign policy. >> the point is that the soviet union possesses a growing nuclear stockpile and that the choice that a war is going to be conventional or nuclear is no longer up to us. >> schieffer: kissinger would go on to be richard nixon's national security advisor. he received the nobel prize for getting peace starts talked on vietnam and was point man for the opening to china and invited the effort to forge new arms agreements with the soviet union. the media loved him. he became secretary of state and as watergate exploded kept american foreign policy together at a time when america had never been more vulnerable. as an elder statesman he is still working to eliminate nuclear weapons and

henry kissinger and zbigniew brzezinski on the latest diplomatic moves over syria. did putin play obama? what will assad do during this intermission and who will get the last word? >>> then richard butler, the man once tasked with getting saddam hussein to give up his chemical weapons on the way to make it work this time with assad. also, the three things you might want to know about syria before we bomb. or whether or not we bomb. and from civil war to homeless wars, anthony bourdain on a different kind of war in the middle east. who makes the most magic with chickpeas? >>> first, here's my take. whatever the twisted path by design or accident, the obama administration has ended up in a better place on syria than looked possible even days ago. the agreement forged by john kerry and the russian foreign minister is just the first step of course the syrian government has to cooperate but it will face pressure from moscow to do so. on hearing of the agreement, some have reacted with dismay. this agreement does not remove bashar al assad power and does nothing to stop h

when henry kissinger went to meet with -- back in 1972 zhou said to henry kissinger perhaps it is in he national character of americans to be taken in by those who seem kind and mild. this is the story behind our engagement policy with china. kissinge to undermine the long-term prospects for both the country and their nation and that can be achieved in china so it's a matter -- we have a total double standard when it comes to cuba and syria and any bad behaving country except for china. >> i think what you are saying is trade with china is not really free trade. >> it's doing business with criminal calls and we need to reevaluate that. when we have free trade which we now have 100% free trade that but we have reasonable relationships with their european countries and canada we create wealth but when one of the parties as a criminal regime using slave labor inside prison camps to compete with us and willing to make the air in beijing so thick you could chew it and that's a problem. >> could you talk about how those in the republican party and media pretend that trade with china is free

but here's former secretary of state henry kissinger's assessment of that idea. >> has been building with great energy a nuclear program and i would be more at ease if the meeting of the presidents occurred at the end of some diplomatic achievement. but i can see the temptation. >> let's discuss what's going on with our chief national security correspondent here at the u.n. as well. do we know for sure there will be a meeting between president obama and president rouhani? >> no, we don't know. they were open to outreach but no meeting on the schedule. many of the meetings won't happen by accident, an accidental meeting with a relationship as important as this. what we can expect from president rouhani is a radically different approach than president ahmadinejad in the past. no america baiting, none of the holocaust denying. i think it's unlikely to have a specific proposal on iran's nuclear program. it would happen in side meetings when the permanent five members plus germany, those ministers meet. that will include secretary john kerry. >> there was an exchange of letters between th

when henry kissinger went back in 1972 he said perhaps it is in the national character of americans to be taken in, and this is the story behind our engagement policy with china. they said yes. i tried to warn him but that is said and would like to take your question. >> i am from liberty university and i wonder how america is justifying doing this business with china but not a single bet with cuba? >> frankly i have to put on my hat to a little bit that members of congress have to be elected it have to get the president back in to be appointed to do that they need money from the investment banks for those that give freely to both parties for those that they want to get to exploit the chinese labor market and lack of any regulation in order to drive short-term pop -- profits that they believe is the responsibility but to undermine though long-term prospect for the country and a nation that could be achieved in china so when it comes to cuba and syria or bad behaving country except china. >> i thank you say it is truly not free trade? >> no. doing business as criminals and we need to re

i do not know if henry kissinger did the right thing or not. riminal -- war criminal. it would be interesting to be in the meeting. kissinger, he has said this publicly, has been very worried about the decline of american prestige in the world. typeer you are a kissinger or a reagan aggressive foreign- policy guy, you do believe that the u.s. is in a dissent. -- descent. ago, was of course the nixon administration helped israel and we supplied israel and turned the tide of the war, which then led to egypt switching sides from the soviet union to the u.s., which really began a long period in the middle east where the u.s. had the upper hand, and for all the troubles in the middle east, did lead to a fair amount of peace, at least lead to some progress in certain areas, can -- including an is really-egyptian israeli-jordann peace accord. we had invited the russians back in, the russians were the biggest suppliers of a run -- of , letting the russians come into the center of the action in the middle east. kissinger dealt with the soviets because he

but then years later henry kissinger who made his career as a nuclear weapons strategist becomes with the national security adviser and is amazed at how distracted and how powerful -- >> host: then he begins to put more flexibility into those plans. >> guest: he does everything he can yet there is an ongoing tension that lasted really into the administration of george h. w. bush between the civilians in the department of defense who want to give control over nuclear war fighting strategy and targeting and the officers in an omaha who actually control it through their computers and who set up the war plan and they had a good argument themselves. the scene for example of a civilian interference during the vietnam war that had been a fiasco and the air force tilt quite sincerely it's up to the civilian leadership to tell us when to go to war but then when we have to fight the war we are the experts. so it wasn't really until the end of the cold war that you had civilians in the first bush administration making crucial decisions about the targeting and execution of the nuclear war plan an

henry kissinger and zbigniew brzezinski on the latest diplomatic moves over syria. do during this intermission and who will get the last word? >>> then richard butler, the man once tasked with getting saddam hussein to give up his chemical weapons on the way to make it work this time with assad.

he will meet with former secretary of state, henry kissinger. president obama tried to make the case about syria saying a diplomatic solution could be in the works but he wants the military option on the table just in case. we are joined with the details from washington, dc. >> eric, a rare prime time address the president of the united states speaking to the american people pushing for military action if syria as he explores a diplomatic solution. >> from the east room the white house president obama tomorrow the nation the strike on syria is on homed while they give diplomacy a shot. >> we have seen encouraging signs in part because of the credible threat of military action. >> syria agreed to a russian plan to turn over chemical weapons to international authorities saying this could be the best option so the president will continue talks with russian president putin and secretary of state john kerry heads to europe for high-level meetings. if diplomacy fails the president argues a strike is in the national interests and the horrors committed

. >> remember how henry kissinger was a genius of going around, he'd go from the arab side to israeliide and whisper different things in their ears. in the old days before we had tape recordings and television you would get away with that. now we find him, smart as a whip, in the paper saying i just want the president to say out loud what he promised mccain and lindsey graham when he said he's going to back the rebels if he says it out loud he may lose leahy and the senate if he gets too hawkish here. >> actually, i don't know that's the case. i think howard's point is correct. the connection of the two, the notion there would be military action on baffle of the rebels that involved american hardware and american personnel. that's the thing that concerns people. you guys have identified -- >> are you for the side car thing of not just making sure we've kept the record strait on the principle of using chemical, but this idea of getting heavily involved of picking out the good guys and arming them, are you for that? >> well, the side car on the resolution says less than that. it's chang

henry kissinger on "face the nation," america's number-one public affairs program today. >> since they awards are being handed out tonight here on cbs, here's a look at the emmys by the numbers. before we start crunching them, who was the emmy named for? turns out it's not a who but a what. emmy started out as immy, an abbreviation for the image orth con two, the name was later changed to emmy. what series has won the most? the record is 37 by the comedy series "frazier." most emmys won by a single network, cbs won 44 when "mash" and "the mary tyler moore" show were on top. and the "the mary tyler moore" show helped cloris leachman earn two and ed asner three of his record emmy, the most for a male actor. it may seem that all of the winners cry during their acceptance speeches. from 2009 to 2011, only 8% of them actually shed tears. tears of joy no doubt for those holding the hardware and those statuettes are heavy. they way six pounds 12.5 ounces. and for the winners, they're worth their weight in gold.

henry kissinger has been right, saying for 20 years that no longer can national leaders in europe asir people to sacrifice for anything that does not happen in their backyard. the war's end of the other things we have dealt with, i think that is pretty accurate. it does fall to the united states at times to step up and have to deal with the challenges in the world and stability when it certainly is in our national interest. i believe this is related to our national interest. lou: always good to talk with you. thank you for being here. >> thank you very much. much more on the situation in syria. lou: we assess what is happening in washington d.c. and what will happen in syria next. stay with us. president obama says he has the authority to strike syria, but he wants congressional approval anyway. a fox news legal analyst tells us whether our commander in chief really does have those powers next. ♪ nascar is about excitement. but tracking all the action and hearing everything from our marketing partners, the media and millions of fans on social media can be a challenge. that's why we p

the very best leadership he could henry kissinger, bill perry, himself and i remember. we are closer to getting nuclear weapons than we probably ever have been. [applause] i would like to think so anyway. [laughter] >> through the foundation, so many initiatives centered around women, education, health, so many aspects why the focus -- this is a reterritorial question -- rhetorical question, ladies, why the focus on women? maybe we shouldn't ask that question right now. >> they look better on tv than men. no [laughter] no, it's high time we got women more involved in all of the leadership activities, and we are doing that. like here in the united states there are more women in college now than there are men. and more women in graduate school. ..

it until we got to the end and we heard about the cracks -- >> my problem is that embrace with henry kissingersupported the iraq war. everyone i know thought that was a terrible judgment on the part of everybody who went along with it, for whatever reason. and i hold that against people. but the trouble is there are so many democrats who support the war, it's hard to narrow it down to her. last thought, amy. do you think hillary clinton will have a difficult road to the white house? >> i think she will have a very difficult road to the white house. she may not have as difficult road to the nomination. some of those are going to be about how good a job she did as secretary of state. and a lot of that was travel and making connections. and you have to ask whose connections? >> and i think the republicans are going to say benghazi one million times. i'm not sure it will add up to one thought. this is "hardball," place for politics.

i think henry kissinger predicted this.o do something like that, all right, let's step in and try to solve this problem, by having a confluence of eliminating the chemical weapons. and i think it is in our interest to think ahead what the russians will do next, and how we may respond. and certainly it is in their interest to call a national conversation. they don't want a saddam hussein topple. and realize it is -- i mean not saddam hussein, to have bashar al-assad toppled. because if he is toppled right now and you have radical islamist groups taking over and they get control of the chemical weapons, that is not in the interest of either side. so i assume the russian's will keep playing this game, keep wanting to be more of a player in the region. they will call for a national conference and keep trying to take the lead in trying to deal with the chemical weapon problem as they minimize america's influence in the region. >> let's turn to apple. they have a big announcement tomorrow, a big unveiling of products. we expect m

word, the book shows that the loyalty to the former bosses, also more republicans, by the way, henry kissinger, and he has a lot of sections on kissinger's advice to kennedy, most of which was not taken, and then, of course, the core of the book, as i mentioned, is about the gung ho as some referred to him with clay. .. >> it was a learning process of a practitioner and his willingness at the beginning -- he was unwilling at the beginning to confront the russians and eventually develop confront the russians at the time of the cuban missile crisis. entire pattern of his behavior changed. we forget what he preteens that was. we forget the series of defeats in his first year, and it was terrible. there was a disastrous summer in july of 1961. then there was the building of the berlin wall. in august of 1961, all of which is important to mention. in the end he got what he really wanted. he wanted the peace treaty and he wanted the flow. which was much more important to the east german economy. which was the most important part of the plot. before i finish with this series of positive remarks, let

was back by then president richard nixon and his secretary of state national security guys are henry kissingere's a secret memo -- that same year, president nixon ordered the cia to "make the economy scream" in chile to "prevent allende from coming to power or unseat him." after the 1973 coup, general pinochet remained a close u.s. ally. he was defeated in a 1988 referendum and left office in 1990. in 19 98, pinochet was arrested in london on torture and genocide charges on award issued by a spanish judge. risch authorities later released pinochet after doctors ruled him physically and mentally unfit to stand trial. judges issuedle's a long-awaited apology to the relatives of loved ones who went missing or were executed during pinochet's dictatorship. this is the judge. consider it necessary. we understand for some citizens, it is too late, but nothing will ever be too late to react to what may happen in the future. >> the relatives of some victims have rejected the belated apology, and called for further investigations into deaths and disappearances during the dictatorship. chilean president

when we return, at the top of the hour henry kissinger and brzenizski on the u.s. and syria.al fibrillation -- an irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. that puts jim at a greater risk of stroke. for years, jim's medicine tied him to a monthly trip to the clinic to get his blood tested. but now, with once-a-day xarelto®, jim's on the move. jim's doctor recommended xarelto®. like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce afib-related stroke risk. but xarelto® is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. that doesn't require routine blood monitoring. so jim's not tied to that monitoring routine.

but then, you know, years later, henry kissinger, who made his career out of the nuclear weapons strategies comes national security adviser. gets grief on the single integrated operational plan, and is amazed at how destructive and how powerful -- >> host: he begins to take steps to put more flexibility to those plans? >> guest: he does everything he can. yet, there's an ongoing tension that lasted really to the administration of george h. w. bush. between the civilians in the department of defense who want to get control over nuclear war fighting strategy and targeting, and the officers in omaha who actually control it through their computers, and who set the war plan. they, you know, had a good argument themselves. they had seen with civilian interferes with with the vietnam war was a fiasco. the air force guards felt it was unto the civilian leadership to tell us when to go to war. then we have to fight the war. we're the experts. so it wasn't really until the end of the cold war that you have civilians in the first bush administration making crucial decisions about the targeting and exe

what struck me as the most upsetting, i remember being in the white house when henry kissinger said, peace is at hand! this is right before the election, and it turns out peace was not at hand. nixon was reelected, the north vietnamese realized they could use it, regarding a peace agreement. and they did not. and it was not until nixon had the christmas bombing that brought peace back to the table. so i'm worried that obama is setting himself up, saying we're going to go, going to talk to the russians. and if everybody calls his bluff, he is really going to be in trouble. >> secretary kerry is going to geneva, the president mentioned that. he still has not scared this circle that it came out at the g-20 summit, even though the president addressed the comments as off-the-cuff and a rhetorical argument. what is your thoughts. >> well, i think it struck me as it should have been done sooner. maybe a toned down version of what we heard from susan rice, maybe less of a flourish. i don't think he said anything new in the debate that will shift anything. and frankly, i think as he said, ame

we have details and at the top of the hour, henry kissinger and zbigniew brzezinski join fareed zakaria.s., russia and syria. one thing we know for sure about oil pipelines -- they corrode, they leak, they burst. 300 times a year on average. from kalamazoo, michigan to mayflower, arkansas. i'm tom steyer. each week we're visiting places that know what it would mean if transcanada is allowed to build the keystone pipeline through america's heartland. see, keystone would carry 800,000 barrels of dangerous tar sands oil every day... through farms, towns, and fresh water supplies. the same stuff they're dealing with here in mayflower. my name is genevieve long. i live in mayflower, arkansas, and i've lived here 28 years. the oil was running right through the middle of town, by the elementary school... you can see chunks of the tar sands flowing through there. [ man ] many continue to suffer from headaches and nausea, and air sampling continues to show that the carcinogen benzene remains in the air. so how safe is keystone? a former transcanada inspector says keystone xl "will likely leak."

i do not know if henry kissinger did the right thing or not. he is not a war criminal. it would be interesting to be in the meeting. i know that kissinger, he has said this publicly, has been very worried about the decline of american prestige in the world. whether you are a kissinger type or a reagan aggressive foreign- policy guy, you do believe that the u.s. is in a descent. 40 years ago, was of course the nixon administration helped israel and we supplied israel and turned the tide of the war, which then led to egypt switching sides from the soviet union to the u.s., which really began a long period in the middle east where the u.s. had the upper hand, and for all the troubles in the middle east, did lead to a fair amount of peace, at least lead to some progress in certain areas, including an israeli-egyptian peace accord, an israeli-jordan peace accord. we had invited the russians back in, the russians were the biggest suppliers of a run -- of iran to assad, letting the russians come into the center of the action in the middle east. kissinger dealt with the soviets

going for a walk with dennis mcdonough, it wasn't that he went to a walk with george schultz or henry kissingernough. this epiphany that came with him, you know, i walked with dennis mcdonough, i thought about it and now i bring it to congress. >> quickly, did he look strong? i'm not sure as a correspondent you really want to answer that question. >> look, consider, i understand why he's doing what he's doing and the end of the day he made this choice because this could go on for a lot longer than the limited -- >> he needs congressional support. i don't think the way he's handled it in the last few days has been very effective. >> thank you very much, everyone. i appreciate your perspectives. i'm don lemon. stay with cnn for the latest developments on the crisis in syr syria. tomorrow secretary of state john kerry on cnn's "state of the union." gloria borger will be hosting for candy crowley. i'm don lemon. good night. >>> we are on target. make sure everybody is ready to move into the target locations. >> we're ready to go. >> on location. we're ready to go. >> alpha 5, all set to go. >> bost
