Kristol: Bush ‘Could Easily Build Political Support’ For Iran Attack ‘At The Beginning Of 2008

Today on Fox New Sunday, Weekly Standard editor William Kristol said the Bush administration was doing a “decent job at threatening Iran,” but said he “would like a little more” rhetoric like Vice President Cheney’s recent claim that military strikes are still on the table.

Kristol added that while “you can’t just suddenly use force,” the question is, “can the President build a predicate if he feels he has to use force.” Kristol was confident: “I think if things have stabilized in Iraq, then you could easily build political support for being much tougher on Iran at the beginning of 2008.” Watch it at link:

In June 2006, Kristol predicted “we’ll have success through pressure and sanctions, or we’ll be forced to use military action.” In August 2006, Kristol said, “I think we could be in a military confrontation with Iran much sooner than people expect.”

Yeah, them eye-ran-ians are soooo scared

What "political support"?

[The Backlash Cometh]

1. Kristol needs to retire, or be exposed the way Novak was exposed.

[annabanana]

2. Kristol should be keel-hauled.

Seriously. This is one bloodthirsty motherfucker.

3. Sadly, unless our Dems in Congress get a backbone, Kristol

may be correct.

Look at two of our three "front-runners:" one supported the current war and the other, not only supported it, but helped co-sponsor the legislation.

If that doesn't prove a point, I don't know what does.

4. How?! That repuke IDIOT has been WRONG 100% on all the issues for a long time now...

Why the fuck are we still even listening to the masturbatory war fantasies of right wing chickenhawk repukes like this dip shit?

Of course, we've been saying this since the 2000 coup that put the little WAR CRIMNAL and his thugs in power...

[LibDemAlways]

5. I'll bet FAUX didn't mention PNAC when

they interviewed the chickenhawk warmonger who never served but who was an architect of the disastrous clusterfuck that is Iraq.

6. it's time for some people to show Kristol...

...the result of his insanity through some protests at his appearances. The man is a monster. A grinning monster.

[zulchzulu]

7. I suggest we send Kristol to the front line since he's so into the wars

The PNAC founder should put his money where his tender mouth is. Get those soft hands ready for battle. He could work off that rubber tire around his figure with some training...he's mentioned he has a couple daughters in their late-teens. The Army takes girls too!

Go Bill go!

8. No doubt Kristol has the pre-fab story line of another "remember the Maine!"

already written.

Wouldn't be interesting if this time it's Chevron's old Altair Voyager (formerly the Condoleeza Rice that gets sunk?

[Eurobabe]

9. What kind of crack is Kristol smoking these days?

How will Bush build support, by instigating or letting another 9-11 happen? :eyes:

[BearSquirrel2]

10. I suppose ...

I suppose we'll be greated with flowers in Iran as well.

[retread]

11. When has this piece of crap been right about anything?? n/t
