Turns out You Are Entitled to Your Own Facts

Here's an article from Los Angeles Times "exposing" another McCain lie. You will recall that Obama defended his proposal to engage in negotiations without preconditions by bringing in the opinions of former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger.  Obama, in a neat debating trick, turns the question of negotiations without preconditions into the question of having direct contacts. bus twisting the question, Obama is able to call on the support of a recent statement from and Kissinger supporting the idea of having some forms of direct medication with Iran. On this point Obama is of course correct: Kissinger does support having contacts with Iran. Indeed, who doesn't? We have had many contacts with the right-hand, both at the United Nations and, most recently, at conferences in the Middle East. But that is very different from a president sitting down to talk to another head of state. And Obama knows it.

Became confidently said that  Mr. Kissinger was on his side. Mr. Kissinger, for his part, issued a statement saying exactly the same thing. That would seem to settle the matter? Oh, you obviously don't have a degree in journalism. The Los Angeles Times faults Mr. Kissinger for not knowing his own mind. Or, what is perhaps they were servants, not knowing the mind of the anointed one. Mr. Kissinger's statement apparently commits the offense of not recognizing how Senator Obama had redefined the question. Mr. Kissinger had not taken due note of the fact that Senator Obama had redefined the issue to mean contacts in general rather than summit meetings. Thus the fault is Mr. Kissinger's, who, along with everyone else, just can't understand the subtlety of Senator Obama's thoughts.
