As many have noted, Bill Kristol, one of the vilest people to see print, one of the chief proponents of the Iraq debacle is now
rooting for a war with Iran.
"...we might consider countering this act of Iranian aggression with a military strike against Iranian nuclear facilities..."
That's just batshit crazy, of course. Certifiable. Can you say "oil spike"? Can you say "blocked Straits of Hormuz"? The man needs to be taken out back and taped to a chair, then educated with a rubber hose by the military planners who have already gamed this scenario and found that it's not a workable idea. He should not be released until he has viewed the pictures of at least 100 dead Iraqi children, and has memorized their names.
But the fact that Kristol is insane isn't news, and it isn't my point...
On June 12th in an otherwise retarded column
Kristol admitted that Bush's "strategy" in Iraq is absolutely, positively FUBAR when he
said the following:
"It would be encouraging if a single person in the White House seemed to be engaged in a real effort to learn from mistakes, so as to adjust our policy to make success more likely."
So let's see if I can figure out his "thinking". This makes sense, right...?
Since no one in the white house seems to be learning anything from the war we're currently bogged down in, the thing to do is start another war.
Head. Banging. Desk.
I can't believe that people like this can even get their crap published. But there it is, and the scary thing is that I wouldn't doubt that it's being taken seriously by the criminals who sold us the first debacle.
The cheerleaders don't even think their team has a clue about how to win the quagmire we're in, and yet they want to drag us into another one. A bigger one. A war with an enemy who has WAY more manpower and armaments, an enemy that could cripple our economy with one missile strike against Saudi Arabia's oil facilities.
Insanity.
Where's my pitchfork.
