[Nixon] wants a massive bombing campaign in Cambodia. He doesn't want to hear anything about it. It's an order, to be done. Anything that flies on anything that moves.

Phone call with Gen. Alexander Haig (December 9, 1970) quoted in National Security Archive Electronic Briefing Book No. 123. The quotation was an excerpt from one of several phone conversations in which Kissinger ridiculed Nixon's views about the war. According to The Washington Post: "When Nixon proposed an escalation in the bombing of Cambodia, Kissinger and Haig felt obliged to humor the president while laughing at him behind his back" "Haig Said Nixon Joked of Nuking Hill: Transcripts of Phone Talks Are Released by Archives" The Washington Post (May 27, 2004).
