William F. Buckley: MAKE THAT JUNE 30, 2005
MAKE THAT JUNE 30, 2005
Sat Apr 10, 8:02 PM ET

By William F. Buckley Jr.

...

Something has got into Mr. Bush's formulation of that June 30 promise. His reiteration of it has taken on a moral tone. He speaks of the date now as though to act on it were an obligation of conscience, not to be trifled with.

4. Well, Buckley is as illogical and incoherent as he ever was ...

here he argues that recent development of a Shiite-Sunni coalition to expel the US is yet another reason we cannot hand-over on 30 June.

Aw, @#$% it! Why am I reading this %$#@?

The ever-changing goal-posts! We invaded for WMD .. no: to stop torture .. no: to create democracy .. no: to prevent the outbreak of civil war. So MISSION ACCOMPLISHED: there are no WMD now .. wait, no: there is no torture now .. wait, no: there're won't be a civil war, because they're all united by hatred of us ..

How in the world do the freepers ever keep it straight?
