I know they won’t but the GOTP and its warmongerers should live out their small government-big corporation creed - hire Blackwater/Xe and Halliburton and get to “stabilizing” the Middle East. Our publicly-funded military (that the GOTP won’t want to raise taxes for) out of these private fantasies.
In the old days a soothsayers who constantly missed the mark was put to death by the emperor.
Why waste a plane ride. Give him one of those Toyotas with mounted gun in back and send him north to Mosul by car.

OK. Let’s say President Obama follows Kristol’s priceless advice.
How long would it take for McCain et al to then start opposing any further U.S. intervention in Iraq?
You had your “chance”, dipsh*t. Fool me once…
Bill Kristol Is Pretty Sure The American People Could Be Rallied To Send Troops Back To Iraq
“As long as I am not one of them!!” Kristol bellowed.
There will be a few conditions:
-
It must be paid for in advance. That means raising taxes on the only folks that have any money left. Yep, the 1%ers.
-
There MUST be a draft with 20% of the 1% being drafted or going to jail for ten years. NO EXCEPTIONS.
-
A new law prohibiting anyone from being a member of Congress that does not have an immediate family member on active duty in the military or that has retired/left military service (aka veterans) in the previous 2 years. Goodbye Chickenhawks.
That should even up the calls to war for a few years.

“Don’t let their loss be in vain.” Yeah, that will gin up the rubes.

Since Iraq in particular was an elective war that was never necessary, all the deaths were in vain. The only reason for the war was to let war profiteers divvy up the trillion dollars wasted on the war.
If we do not wish for the deaths of true patriots to be in vain we have to learn once and for all that war is a racket.

The GOP foreign policy: invade everywhere and stay there forever.
To put it bluntly … that man is full of shit.
Wow - here’s a real piece of NOT NEWS - Bill Kristol is wrong AGAIN!
Apparently Bill thinks foreign policy is like an Angels baseball game and the armed forces just need the Rally Monkey.

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, won’t get fooled again.
Note to Kristol and other resurging warmongers:
The neocons who orchestrated this debacle were allowed to slither away, but I’m pretty sure the American people could be rallied to have all Kristol’s pals brought back and prosecuted for warcrimes.

Now that the “black guy” is the president it would have to be paid for. Now we know taxes can’t be raised so we can just end Medicare and Social Security benefits and everything will be cool.

I think Obama should offer up a free ride on Air Force 1 for Kristol and all the other war hawks that took us in there to Baghdad Iraq, agreed with our troop withdrawal at the time, and are now bitching,moaning, and blaming Obama, so they can guide the Iraqi Army Generals.
Beat me to the punch.
“Kristol’s reputation as a consistently wrong pundit.”
You could have just wrote that and saved all those words and used them on someone worth the effort…
I have been one of the folks generally opposed to prosecuting the previous administration for war crimes only because I was afraid it would set up a dangerous precedent. However, the more I hear of these assholes talking about reentering the war we just got of, the war they lied us into, the more I’m on board with prosecution. There needs to be justice for those who lost their lives and there needs to be accountability. These clowns need to be held accountable so that it doesn’t happen again in the future. The fact that Cheney and folks like Kristol can just go on these talk shows and act as though they had nothing to do with getting us into Iraq in the first place is as astounding as it is maddening.
