Bill Kristol Is Fucking Insane

It wasn't my intention to write about Kristol, I only went back to this piece of insane drivel to highlight the title header for a quote, but the whole thing deserves to be read.

I don't know who is the crazier, Kristol or those that allow him column inches to write such fucking nonsense.

I suppose I'll merely expose myself to harmless ridicule if I make the following assertion: George W Bush's presidency will probably be a successful one.........


What about terrorism? Apart from Iraq, there has **been less of it, here and abroad**, than many experts predicted on Sept. 12, 2001. So Bush and Vice President Cheney probably are doing some important things right. ***The war in Afghanistan has gone reasonably well***.......

......Not necessarily. First of all, we would have to compare the situation in Iraq now, with all its difficulties and all the administration's mistakes, with what it would be if we hadn't gone in. Saddam Hussein would be alive and in power and, I dare say, victorious, with the United States (and the United Nations) by now having backed off sanctions and the no-fly zone.

He might well have restarted his nuclear program, and his connections with al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups would be intact or revived and even strengthened. more


**The number of serious international terrorist incidents more than tripled last year,**
