Kristol: attacks show that the insurgents are "worried"

[Cocoa]

WALLACE: Terrible bombing. another terrible bombing. One of the worst single bombings of the war in Baghdad. More than 130 people killed. Bob Gates saying that these units, Iraqi units are arriving in Baghdad at 55% manpower. Same question I asked Senator Graham: can 17,000 U.S. soldiers make all that much of a difference in a city of 6 million?

KRISTOL: Yeah, doubling the U.S. troop presence in Baghdad can make a big difference. Look, if I were a Sunni extremist and was worried, which I would be, about a doubling of U.S. forces in Baghdad, what would I do? I would try to convey an impression of chaos. I would get the biggest truck bomb possible and drive it into a market in a Shiite area. If that’s going to drive us out of Iraq, that’s just ridiculous.

That would just send a message to any place we have interests, all the most ruthless group of terrorists has to do is kill a bunch of civilians and we’re going to leave. There’s no evidence they can stand up to U.S. troops and quite a bit of evidence that they’re worried. On the whole over the last two weeks, some of the news for Iraq is slightly optimistic. It’s going to be tough, but I see nothing that persuades me that the surge can’t work quite well.

1. We've got 'em right where we want 'em.

[PDJane]

2. Being blunt and very rude,

Kristol has his head so far up his ass, the light he sees at the end of the tunnel.......well, never mind.

Kristol is one of the architects of this debacle. I would also point out that he doesn't have a very good grasp of history........

[yurbud]

4. Kristol is the chickenhawk's chickenhawk, so obviously a pampered little mama's boy...

[yurbud]

3. yep, once they natives throw us in the boiling pot, then we'll know they're terrified

[applegrove]

5. So the biggest truck bomb Iraq has seen is actually "good news"?

[Sal Minella]

12. Yes. Because it shows how worried they are.

Why are you having trouble grasping this?
It's so obvious to Kristol.

[SammyWinstonJack]

19. Black is White, Up is Down, War is Peace.

:banghead:

[seabeyond]

6. they have been saying this about the chaos and violence for 3 years now

they are killing cause they are afraid.

[ClintonTyree]

7. And we were going to be greeted as liberators....

with Iraqis throwing flowers at our troops. Remember saying THAT Billy? :wtf: All the neo-cons have been smoking on the same crack-pipe and I think Kristol gets the first hit every time. :banghead:

[Cocoa]

27. that's how the helicopters went down

the rotors got clogged up with all the rose petals the Iraqis were throwing at us.

[HereSince1628]

8. Worried?? The Deadenders are freaking DESPERATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Though, of course, I'm talking about the NeoCons over at AEI, and in the OVP.

[malaise]

9. Kristol can spin a top in mud

or attempt to do this. Fugging moron.

[deutsey]

10. War is peace, after all, and ignorance is strength

:eyes:

[azurnoir]

11. This part is priceless and very telling

"I would get the biggest truck bomb possible and drive it into a market in a Shiite area. If that’s going to drive us out of Iraq, that’s just ridiculous."

Translation: We don't care how many Iraqi's get killed (or our troops for that matter), just the money flowing

13. why is the scumbag still considered an authority, he hasn't been right about anything.

[WinkyDink]

14. And I'll bet he said this with his smarmy little grin and oleaginous voice.

He gives me the major willies.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

15. An IMPRESSION of chaos?

Kristol would need clean Pampers every 15 minutes if he were living in this "impression" of chaos.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

16. Did he have his stupid ass grin on when he said that? eom

[sutz12]

17. Ahhhh, yes.....They're in the last throes........

again. :sarcasm:

[blues90]

18. My wife had fox on this morning . man !

All I could think was how on earth can four such horrid freaky faces even find a spot on TV .

They were and are a complete horror show to say the least . This is where I exited the room .

[marmar]

20. I hope William Kristol enjoyed his weekend in Amsterdam.

:smoke:

[kentuck]

21. We showed them!

We broke their fist with our nose...

[Ron Green]

22. Why is this guy walking around free? He should be in jail.

Instead, he's still a highly-paid TV shill for death and misery.

[subterranean]

23. Has Kristol ever been right about ANYTHING?

As far as I'm aware, every single opinion he's uttered about Iraq has been WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. I guess that's why they like him at Faux.

[Zenlitened]

26. Bingo. This guy has got to be one of the most shocking STUPID people on earth.

That anyone pays him any attention at all is just a (huge and glaring) symptom of how the Republican party has succeeded in destrying intellect and integrity in America... and replaced it with that most deadly of personality traits: Ignorance combined with Arrogance.

It's unbelievable.

Seriously, every single lunatic who signed that PNAC "Attack attack attack Iraq!" letter should be utterly marginalized, at least. Not one of them has even a SHRED of credibility left.

Hell, you could make the case they should be put into protective custody, because they've proven themselves a danger to society. What a bunch of sickos.

:crazy:

[Spazito]

24. LOL, the neo-cons have found a new way to say....

"last throes" and it is just as pathetic as the original.

[peacetalksforall]

25. Yes, the architect of killing isn't good at persuading

disbelievers. And he says it all with a smile on his face. A perpetual smile. He's as sick as George, Dick, Don, Condaleeza, Paul, John, John, RIchard and many more.

I want to see sick Bill on a witness stand.
