Kristol Complains That Obama’s Iran Message Is ‘Weak’ And ‘Embarrassing’

In his latest column for the Weekly Standard, super-hawk Bill Kristol addresses President Obama’s recent Persian New Year message to the Iran’s leaders and its people, calling it a “message of weakness.” He is upset that Obama didn’t use the words “liberty,” “freedom,” “democracy,” or “human rights” and chastises Obama for referring to Iran as the “Islamic Republic of Iran,” claiming that doing so means that Obama is “kowtowing” to Iran’s leaders.

On Fox News Sunday this morning, Kristol picked up where he left off in his column and continued to whine about Obama’s move, calling it “a weak and embarrassing statement by the President of the United States.” Fox News’s Brit Hume piled on, complaining that it “appears” that the U.S. has now “joined the rest of the world and practicing the diplomacy of talk.” Watch it: ... http://thinkprogress.org/2009/03/22/kristol-iran-obama/

1. a weekling who sucks at the tit of NeoCon Thinktanks, who can't hold down a real job

2. Hey, Billy!

Why don't you hop on a plane and go kick Iran's ass personally? Come on, tough guy. Let's see what you got.

[MikeNearMcChord]

9. And take that macho Britt Hume with you too.

Britt Hume doesn't like talk, eh, well go ahead Rambo impress us.

[11 Bravo]

35. Britt Hume, the human shar pei.

[DFW]

3. Yeah, Bill, the Cheneybush approach of the last 8 years did so much better

After casting them as members of the Axis of Evil, how could they not love us?

They're sure to send us missiles the second their leadership receives Obama's message.

I swear, I'm amazed that Fox Commentators don't do their TV spiel from a special
TV studio where they read their garbage upside down and suspended from the ceiling.

33. Axis of Evil

Before the Axis of Evil speech, Iran actually had a reformist President, after the speech, the reformist lost ground and Iran went backwards resulting hardliners taking control control. In the election coming up in Iran the hardliners have lost ground due to the economy, hopefully Obama's speech will give the reformers a chance.

[monmouth]

4. If Billy is complaining and upset, then POTUS did the right thing. He

just cannot stand that POTUS is a diplomat along with all of his other attributes. Poor Billy, can't get a job, he's the embarrassment..

[Catshrink]

5. Hey Bill, you neocon shill:

How about a nice big dose of STFU? You're an irrelevant tool who supports illegal war. Just go away. Your time is over, Bud.

[iamthebandfanman]

6. well if anybody knows about being weak and embarrassing

its bill kristol.

ha ha.

[mitchum]

7. Three Dollar Bill is a perfect example of neocon nepotism

[polichick]

8. Neocons see anything civilized as "weak" - they should be embarrassed...

...that they are such throwbacks.

[Odin2005]

20. They are fascists who think Plato's ideal totalitarian state is the ideal society.

They're utopian vision is that of Sparta, a society that is competently dedicated to the military, the oppression of the serfs they rule, and fighting all change.

10. Bill Kristol is weak and embarassing. nt

[Canuckistanian]

11. Yes, but the guy who pumps out my septic tank thinks it's a valid strategy

And Duane has a better track record on international political analysis.

[LooseWilly]

29. Bwah hah hah...

Just so long as his name isn't 'Joe the Septic Tank Pumper'... (wow that sounds dirty) ... I'll go with Duane's analysis.

[Liberal_in_LA]

12. Bill Kristol needs to shut up.

[Egnever]

13. It's amazing to me that people just dont laugh in his face

every time he opens his pie hole

[Liberal_in_LA]

23. I know! He'll be forever known as the guy who gave us Palin

[globalvillage]

14. This is Hume's complaint?

That we appear to have “joined the rest of the world and practicing the diplomacy of talk.” ?

Do they even listen to what they're saying?

[bobburgster]

22. Haha, you're kidding right....

Did he really say that?....oh god, I'm going to scream if you answer in the affirmative.

[globalvillage]

24. It's in the OP. Bizarre, isn't it?

On Fox News Sunday this morning, Kristol picked up where he left off in his column and continued to whine about Obama’s move, calling it “a weak and embarrassing statement by the President of the United States.” Fox News’s Brit Hume piled on, complaining that it “appears” that the U.S. has now “joined the rest of the world and practicing the diplomacy of talk.” Watch it: ... http://thinkprogress.org/2009/03/22/kristol-iran-obama/

[bobburgster]

34. Un-freakin-believable

On second thought...it's believable coming from them.

[givemebackmycountry]

15. I hate that bastard - I can't stand that smug sick smile he always wears.

I hate to say this, but that smile of his looks like someone who just blew someone in a 25 cent arcade and still has 5 dollars left.

[Politicalboi]

16. Kristol

Is weak and embarrassing

[dos pelos]

17. Obamas Iran message reminds me of this:

Yup,this sums it up:

[Prometheus Bound]

36. Gulp. Why do I have that same feeling?

The neocons haven't started mentioning Neville Chamberlain yet, so they must not be that worried.

[opihimoimoi]

18. This Asshole has been WRONG everytime he opens his piehole

Kristol is a POS who helped fuck America by backing W Bush....

He should be in a cell forever with Ernest Angley

[L. Coyote]

25. I guess he prefers being atacked!

[opihimoimoi]

26. he likes to be tied up??? OMG......whad can I say....Larry or Ted might wanna join him

[Odin2005]

19. Shut up you Fascist twit. You are your followers are IRRELEVANT now.

Go back to your "think tanks" where you creeps can jerk off while reading Plato and Leo Strauss.

[Rider Haggard]

21. Just a chance to say what I think of Kristol...

Lousy lover, little dick and loved masturbation more than he loved other people.

[Aristus]

27. Way to go, Bill! Everybody knows, using the word "freedom" as much as you can is

a very effective substitute for intelligent leadership! :applause:







:sarcasm:

[SemiCharmedQuark]

28. Oh Bill Kirstol...are you ever right?

[spanone]

30. fuck him and cheeeeneee

[malletgirl02]

31. Kristol

Yeah like the "Axis of Evil" worked out so well, before Bush made that speech, Iran actually had a reformist president, after the speech the reformist lost ground. With Obama's address it seems like either a moderate or a reformist might win the presidency.

[saltpoint]

32. I just canNOT think of one single person anywhere from whom I'd rather take

advice on the Middle East than William Kristol.

We luv ya, Bill. Kick butt!
