Bill "He's Got Weapons Of Mass Destruction" Kristol Has Left For His First Trip To Iraq

Edited on Mon Jul-23-07 04:53 AM by Hissyspit

So he can see how the situation has improved compared to, say, his, um, earlier trips there, :sarcasm: according to Howard Kurtz today in his oh-so-balanced profile of Kristol. :eyes:

Some choice idiotic (and criminal) Kristol quotes:

3. Bet he sleeps in his helmet and flak jacket.

Or isn't he staying that long?

4. Probably just long enough to pick up his dividend check,

He'll just see the dog and pony show and come home to write about how great things are.

8. Do it Iraq;

for like the heretic in my blood he rages,
And thou must cure me; till I know 'tis done,
Howe'er my haps, my joys we're ne'er begun.

11. Will He Wear Blinders?

See only what he wants to see? Mentally 'white-out' the soldiers, the frightened, the dead? Stick his fingers in his ears while the bombs go off and talk loudly about what a beautiful sky he sees? Of course. This is Bill Kristol after all.

13. You can count on this

whatever Kristol has to say about his trip to Iraq, he will be dead wrong. The man hasn't been right about anything yet. But last week's glowing love poem to GWB in the guise of his column was just bizarre.
I believe he knows he's so far entrenched into the lies at this point that he has no chance of retreat -- unlike his crabwalking brethren who are backtracking madly these days to distance themselves from their own words. (even Bruce Willis in the Vanity Fair piece a couple of months ago was working hard to obscure his earlier rabid cheerleading for GWB.)
Kristol is consistent, at least. Always wrong about everything.

16. Who is paying for Mr. Kristol's trip, and will he have military escorts?

Edited on Mon Jul-23-07 11:02 AM by Marr

I'd like to know, as any government support in this would, I think, be wildly inappropriate. Kristol is a propagandist.

17. Given his record, who's to say he's actually going to Iraq? He's been wrong about everything else.

I won't be surprised if his "Iraq trip" includes
a visit to the Volvo factory and a day sightseeing
the famous Iraqi fjords.
