"...if countries don't have confidence in our ability to help them, it's going to be a much more dangerous world."
Uhhhh.... In which case, maybe we should have (1) finished the job in Afghanistan, and (2) not invaded Iraq in the 1st place????




No Billy, the other countries have seen how we 'helped' Iraq and Afghanistan and they probably would prefer we stayed the hell away.
we only "help" if they have oil for friends of boosh and kenny.
Oh William, you so funny.
Kristol is talking about Georgia I presume and the US inability to help them (i.e send the military).
If the US would help them neocon-style this world would become a much more dangerous world
Help them what
Shuffle off their mortal coil?
I druther shuffle off to Buffalo.
There's still NATO, the UN and the European Union, which presumably will have their own military one day, probably culled from member states. We'll be involved, just not in the driver's seat.
The is simply devoid of irony or shame.
We'll be more like the elderly mother-in-law backseat driving.
At least he consistent, these neo-con's sure do stay on message, it's shame every last single one of there policies are completely and utterly flawed, but anyway.
And Senator McCain shouldn't have sent a couple of lobbyists off to make false promises to the Georgians just to start a war with Russia...
they just want it any which way they want it, dammit!
Kristol is just the fella I don't want to show up in the capitol of any country I may live in saying "I'm from the U.S. gov't and I'm here to help."
Only the best on Faux Noise. Is it neocon hour? The spokesmen for death and destruction have arrived. Peddling suffering, servitude and insanity in the name of all that is insidious.
of course bloody bill is a dangerous boob, but then you write, (1) finished the job in Afghanistan... what job? the one we started in the 70´s under carter? as far as i am concerned, afganistan is unwinnable... there is nothing to win but a pipeline from the caspian.. even if it were winnable, there is no proof that O.bin laden was responsible for 911, it has just become the repeated lie that is now taken for granted... plus, he is saudi anyway...
The only way that the American occupiers of Afghanistan will "finish the job" is by committing genocide and murdering millions of Afghanis. We should have never invaded and occupied that poor country. The nine-eleven attacks were launched by people living in the United States. Bush claimed that we should be attacking any country that harbored terrorists... Was the U.S. harboring terrorists. Three fourths of the nine-eleven terrorists were from Saudi Arabia. Did Bush attack Saudi Arabia. Much of the funding of the nine-eleven terrorists came through Dubai. Did Bush attack Dubai?
We need to get out of Afghanistan, Iraq and the Republic of Georgia now.
how about if we helped our own country? there's a lot of places in this country that aren't exactly safe either.
Just how fucking stupid are Fox viewers? Jesus, this asshole has been wrong about virtually every damned thing he has ever pontificated about and he is still on the program?? Doesn't Fox have some threshold of stupidity that will bar idiots like this from appearing as an expert talking head?
It saddens me how America's image has been tarnished abroad due to the massively inept foreign policy blunders unleashed by this administration. Other countries laugh at us now, or shake their heads in disbelief. Their lack of "confidence" in us arises from distrust, disbelief, and being screwed over relentlessly by the neocon's goals. It will take many, many years for this damage to be undone. I advocate us just stepping away from the world scene for a bit under an Obama administration to focus on us, our children, our schools, our hospitals, our roads, our cities, and all the other domestic priorities that have been allowed to languish. Let the other countries be and sort their own stuff out for a while. Then we can all awaken from this long national nightmare.
actually, compared to the level of intelligence of the normal fox viewer, kristol is einstein.
Can't stand this guy. He's such an A-hole all the way around. I nearly choked when I heard the New York Times hire him until I realized it's probably a way of the Times to take some heat off of itself as the flagship of liberal media. Still, hiring him indicates a priority of pr over doing actual, factual news.
As an aside. Anyone ever notice how Kristol always comes off like an overly neurotic naughty boy? Like he just stole something from his parents and he's trying to explain to them how he was really just borrowing it?
angryspittle @ 16:
If you have to ask then you must be prepared for the answer. Yes, people who listen to Fox News, other than to find out what THEY want you to think, are beyond dumb. They are drooling zombies.
And no, there is no threshold of stupidity. They know EXACTLY what they're doing, and WHO they're doing it to and for.
"Uhhhh…. In which case, maybe we should have (1) finished the job in Afghanistan, and (2) not invaded Iraq in the 1st place????"
No, we should have 1) made sure al-qaida was responsible for 9/11 prior to going into Afghanistan and 2) demand a public apology for the neo-cons who pushed us into this nonsense in the first place...
redcat @ 18:
In the land of the brainless the man with half a brain is king
I mean come on. A big ol' can of whoop-ass Rendition version needs to be opened up on this lame-prick and his fellow neo-cons and have them wake up in some undisclosed location in Syria, Iran, Russia, maybe even a Sunni-part of Iraq. then what happens after that, well, I don't care but I'm confident the lot of'em deserve it. good riddance. the world will not miss them.
What's this "OUR" shit he's spouting? I certainly don't see military uniform on him. Fucking armchair quarterback.
Maybe Bill means that we should invade Russia for the sake of regime change and democracy.
One of Kristol's weekly "ironic moments"......?
Surely that's a typo - you meant MORONIC - no??
Murkins love a patriot. Whoever can wave the flag back and forth more times in one minute gets to be preznit.
Ready, set, GO!
Sthufferin' sthuccatash, that fool again?
Quick Henry, the FLIT !!
13 barkin Says: of course bloody bill is a dangerous boob...
Speaking of which:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDQ_A8Skzdg
I understand that posing such a question is like whistling in a category 5 hurricane, but...
How is it, exactly, that anyone can take seriously Billy the Smirking Twit and his continuing untethered-to-reality pronouncements? Why does this clown merit regular television time and newspaper space? On the other hand, maybe the logorrhea that spills incessantly from his piehole explains that permanent smirk on his face. If I were him, I couldn't keep a straight face either.
Well...except for the blood and destruction part, of course.
Just sayin'...
Think of how dangerous a world it is now since 2001 because of morons like this over privileged little snot! The guy gets an erection talking about war, in between sneaking peeks at womens breasts while they are sitting next to him in the FOX studio. Anyone remember that little incident that C&L publicized some time back?
Okay Mr. War Criminal -- let me explain this in a way YOU can personally relate to.
When you cut off a man's penis - he has no way to contribute sperm.
This is what you, Bush and the other neocons have done to the United States military. We have no sperm to contribute to other nations right now - no matter how hard you wank.

idealistic in NM @ 17:
I couldn't agree with you more. We need to clean up our own house, repair our infrastructure and see that America is first again when it comes to taking care of Americans. We aren't the sheriff of the world right now so we need to stop strutting around and wearing he badge.
Umm, that should be the badge not he badge although the he part kind of works
ysbaddaden @ 29:
yes, dangerous boob indeed... thanks for that...
With "friends" like us, who needs enemies?
Hold still, damnit!!! We're trying to help you!
Anybody that says any different just hates Amerika.
james k. sayre @ 14:
in total agreement here... i am just frightned about obamas stance on pulling some troops out of iraq and surging in afganistan... he has fallen into the rupuglican framework of the bogus war of terror... not to mention offshore drilling, the aipac speech, fisa, and again with his hard line toward russia... just dumb...
Ruth @ 11:
Let's send him anyway. I'm for sending Bloody - bloody ANYWHERE.
But seeing how the rest of the world views us right now - HE should stay out of dark alleys.

William and his Neo Con friends have made this country's reputation a joke around the world. NeoCons hate this country and everything it is supposed to stand for: Liberty, Freedom and Justice for All. They want Liberty, Freedom and Justice for only themselves and their cronie friends; the rest of the world be damned.
FedUp @ 40:
My sentiments exactly...
Charles @ 12:
Well said.
The "Neocon hour" -- I love it.

All things considered...
I think the rest of the world would rather not have our "help."
Does Kristol's head just pop off so the Kool-Aide hose just snaps on??
It continues to amaze how goofy these fools are.....AND how goofy they sound to the rest of the world..that's the scary part...
Run down to your local recruiting station, Kristol, you dip.
Why are these people that cheerleaded the Iraq invasion still allowed to be on teevee?
I was surprised McCain told the truth about Russia controlling the oil in Georgia last night.
Their occupation for oil has just started when ours is ending.
Well Mr. Kristol, you as much as anyone are to blame for that. This is what happens when you commit and engage most of your forces to one location. It makes it difficult to counter against any other adversaries. Heck, a man or woman just out of military boot camp can tell you that you always have something left in reserve. I wouldn't expect a man like Kristol to understand that simple strategy. After all, he never served a day in uniform in his life.
Few things are more deadly than Kristol Meth.
Headlines: World now a safer place for all humans, Bill kristol beaten to death, by family of marine killed in false war! Family "not guilty "in the name of justice and fair play. A spokesman for the family of the marine stated that the weekly lies and falsehoods put forth by the famous yellow chicken-hawk kristol was just more than they could stand. " They are cowards from top to bottom, and the lowest life form on earth" said the spokesman. We were willing to take our chances in court, hoping that the citizens would be aware of the fact that a person sitting on a jury has the power to vote not guilty, no matter what the law or what the judge tells you that you have to do. This is the power that our constitution gave to each person to fight unjust laws and government transgressions. We were lucky that the 12 people picked were informed and had the guts to stand up for justice. We may have killed one person, but consider how many kids have died from the poison and war-mongering that kristol has done over the years, while he sits in his big house,built from war profits, acting like he's a dangerous man. Who's next?-CEO
Why oh why is the ignorant always wrong half-wit KKKristol allowed to spew his stupidity nationally all the time. It's as if FOX "News" hates America .... oh wait they DO hate America..... I forget once in a while.
Old songs have new found meaning *First we got the bomb and that was good,
'Cause we love peace and motherhood.
Then Russia got the bomb, but that's O.K.,
'Cause the balance of power's maintained that way!
Who's next?
France got the bomb, but don't you grieve,
'Cause they're on our side (I believe).
China got the bomb, but have no fears;
They can't wipe us out for at least five years!*
Who's next?
Then Indonesia claimed that they
Were gonna get one any day.
South Africa wants two, that's right:
One for the black and one for the white!**
Who's next?
Egypt's gonna get one, too,
Just to use on you know who.
So Israel's getting tense,
Wants one in self defense.
"The Lord's our shepherd," says the psalm,
But just in case, we better get a bomb!
Who's next?
Luxembourg is next to go
And, who knows, maybe Monaco.
We'll try to stay serene and calm
When Alabama gets the bomb!
Who's next, who's next, who's next?
Who's next?

CEO,citizens,eyes,open @ 50, HELL YEAH!! Will that please please be the first story I read tomorrow!
CEO,citizens,eyes,open @ 50:
while i am fundementaly against violence in all forms, that would be a pretty sweet read indeed...
CEO,citizens,eyes,open @ 52, OK this may sound a bit weird but here it goes. Back in the early '80s I was a US Army Atomic Demolition Munitions tech. A guy I served with told me that New Hampshires Governor had tried to get ADMs for the NH National Guard during Viet-nam! Don't know if it's true or not but that poem mentioning Alabama getting the bomb made me think of it.
Bombing countries to the stone age is not helping them. Someone should clue Bloody Billy and his gang of neo-nuts because they have been wrong for so long. What has he ever been right about?
We need to bring back the draft long enough to send Bill Kristol and his fellow travelers on a one way ticket to Iraq. He wanted this war, he should be made to fight it. And he should start as a Private. No special rank. He should take orders and learn to like it. With him and the subscribers to The Weekly Standard, we should be able to meet recruiting goals for the military.
There is not debating that Bill Kristol is a demon elf from the bowls of hell. This is not partisanship this is the difference between right and wrong. F**K this guy and all the others that he runs with.
"...advanced forms of biological warfare that can target specific genotypes may transform biological warfare from the realm of terror to a politically useful tool."
From the Project of a New American Century "Rebuilding America's defenses". One of the signers, Bill Kristol.
These are not the words of a NeoCon, These are the words of a Demon. EVIL IS NOT PARTISAN.
There's an old adage in the Kamakura Zen tradition... "The fastest way to lose power is to use it"
Simple put the implied use of force is sometimes more powerful than actually using it because once you do commit your resources, you at the same time expose your weaknesses.
While America has projected its force in two wars, one of which was not only unnecessary but illegal as well, it has extended itself to the point that the military commanders have flat out stated that we don't have sufficient forces to engage Iran... much less Russia.
Russia saw our weakness and decided to act while it knew we could not respond in any significant way.
Kristol and the Neocons never met a war they didn't like... until now. They beat that drum "we're the only Super Power left standing" bullshit and their "New American Century" Drivel thinking that Super Power some how equated with "Invincible."
Guess Russia and China didn't get the memo... and the Neocon's strategy has done nothing but raise the fear of American Hegemony and reawaken the Cold War mentality:

Nice job Kristol... you F**ktard!
terrible@55 Their are many of Lehrers songs that fit very well into the times of today and all of them funny as hell heres a list of songs and words-enjoy-CEO*http://members.aol.com/quentncree/lehrer/oldgrey.htm
PS. The "Free Trade" component of the Neocon's economic policies and McCain lifting the ban on foreign companies getting defense contracts has produced a wave of off-shoring of defense contracts and the technology to China and Russia.
China now manufacturer's 90% of the computer chips that are used in the US military's "smart weapons" as an example.
The idea was that China and Russia's behavior would change if we gave them a taste of capitalism and they would fall in line with the US... well... that hasn't exactly worked out too well has it?
What is worse is that the technology transfer is "the genie that can't be put back in the bottle."
"help" as in help them to their graves.
What this fat ass really means is that much braver, younger and less affluent men will help, surely not his blowhard and arrogant ass.
These Fairy Neocons have been wrong about everything and they are still getting air time, of course on Fux Noise.
Pathetic human being.
Their irony/stupidity/insanity is always lost on them. These people are a portion of the American populace that just needs to vanish into thin air.
Kristol is a total neo-con shill. I look forward to his televisual extinction once Obama is in the White House.
"Finish the job in Afghanistan."??? What and imbecilic idea. The "job" in Afghanistan was to destabilize Central Eurasia, enable and protect Unocal's pipeline, and accelerate the massive wealth transfer of American citizen's money to war profiteer's. Finish the job...what, get the terrists, like Dubya and the glowing idiot box told you?
A Perfect Circle
"Let's Have a War"
There's so many of us,
So many of us,
So many, there's so many, there's so many
Let's have a war,
So you can go and die,
Let's have a war,
We could all use the money,
Let's have a war,
We need the space,
Let's have a war,
Clean out this place
It already started in the city,
Suburbia will be just as easy
Let's have a war,
Jack up the Dow Jones,
Let's have a war,
It can start in New Jersey,
Let's have a war,
Blame it on the middle-class,
Let's have a war,
We're like rats in a cage
It already started in the city,
Suburbia will be just as easy
Let's have a war,
Sell the rights to the networks,
Let's have a war,
Let our wallets get fat like last time,
Let's have a war,
Give guns to the queers,
Let's have a war,
The enemy's within
It already started in the city,
Suburbia will be just as easy
I like to know who died and left America in charge of the world? We haven't been doing a good job in the last 8 yrs. Helping a country is not the same as being a bully as we are surely known now.
kristol's always had a funny definition of the word, "help".
America-- Democracy's Midwife
Huge casualties-- Birth-pangs of Democracy
Ask your doctor if Democracy is right for you.
Is this supposed to be ironic or something.
It was a completely ordinary statement. I've wondered why liberals have adopted a Henry Kissenger/ Pat Buchanan isolationism and right-wing nativism as if it's noble or something. It's not.
If he meant that "helping other countries" means, oh - I don't know - not coming to their aid in time of need like we did recently in Kuwait/Iraq in the early 90's, or invading Panama and killing innocent civilians to get our CIA plant out the leadership in that country or "helping" Chile or Iran with the Shah, etc......yeah, if he meant THAT kinda "help", then he certainly has a point. On the other hand, it obviously doesn't lessen the danger.
Either way, whatever country we "help" or "invade to help" is screwed. Not to mention our servicemembers and families.
I don't think that every country on earth has a burning desire to be totally destroyed in order to be saved from restrictive government. Sort of like the old story, "The operation was a success, but the patient died."
I can just imagine people who have never known democracy, have a hard time surviving and see no future for their children looking around their destroyed homes and telling themselves how lucky they are to now be free.
Why does anyone take this mentally challenged Jack O'Lantern seriously? Last week, he predicted Colin Powell was going to attend the DNC. As usual, he was wrong.
Right. And if we hadn't proven our INABILITY to help other nations effectively through our calamitous invasion of Iraq, the rest of the world might still believe in our ABILITY to help them.
For the umpteenth consecutive time, Kristol learns the wrong lesson from history.
Neocons like Kristol have pushed for an attack on those who aren't invading or a credible threat to peace (Iraq).
Neocons like Kristol are now pushing for us to support those who do invade and have been a threat to peace (Georgia).
Kristol and his PNAC buddies only support the side that is likely to give us oil and control - and they will deceive and manipulate in every imaginable way so that public opinion is softened to them doing this.
They used forgeries, deceit and propaganda to achieve this with Iraq.
Now they're trying to get us behind the aggressor in the conflict, many channels of media harmoniously spewing out lop-sided reporting much of which avoids mentioning who actually started the conflict.
We could contrast their statements from recent years to what they're saying here to see how hypocritical they really are.
If Cheney didn't give the Georgian President the OK to attack those border city people. I don't think Russia strikes back.
IF I was a conspiracy type it sure would look like a good stunt for the McCain campaign via Bush Adm. But I'm not a conspiracy theorist. Thank goodness.......................
NEWSFLASH Billy you fraking moron!!! That confidence thing??? You motherfuckers already blew that to hell and back with all your shit these last five to eight years!!!! I really don't think anyone is looking to the U.S. as a nation to come riding to anyones rescue anymore....... You motherfuckers!!! After all the shit you people have pulled, this country will be lucky if we don't end up the newest neighborhood pariah nation. Jesus! You assholes really ought to look up the word reality in the goddamned dictionary sometime!!!!! Cause you and your ilk?? You are totally out of touch with that thing called reality..... Fuck what a dolt! What a stupid thing to say now, after Iraq, after Afganistan, after cheering on the pissing away of our constitution. You're as big a fucking war criminal as the rest of em asswhipe!!!.......JD
No, I think Kristol is simply deluded.
You mean our ability to rape and pillage? We are a ruthless Mongol horde. Trust us? Yeah right.
If I was writing articles for a major news organization and ever time I wrote about any thing I got it wrong most intelligent people would stop paying attention to anything I said. I would get fired but not this neo nut cake . So every time he is on Fox news I turn him off if I accidentally find myself on the fox news channel, Every time I see his picture on Crooks and Liars I never read the article because he has never been right on anything. Next he will be accusing the democrats of developing nukes in secret to give to Hamas or some other stupid opinion. Hes never right about anything stop watching him stop listening to him what a waste of time!!!!!!
Krystal is right in general but Georgia wasnt in NATO and we sure as fuck didnt tell them to attack Russian troops. The guy has a big fucking mouth and would have already dropped that bomb given how much he's gibbering.
The Russians are asssholes, sure. They are expanding their borders, sure. They are scaring Europe, sure. Maybe Georgia should be in NATO eventually, sure. But fight Russia when we dont have an alliance? I dont think so.
Little Billy thinks we all want to be in the Empire business.
I find it laughable that these slimy Neocons believe we can tell every other nation on earth, what form of government or economic system to have, or that we can tell them what weapons they can or can't own or how to conduct their foreign policy. The Neocon delusions are grand, unfortunately they are also a threat to our nation. I have never seen the propaganda any worse than it has been on the recent Georgia incident. Massive onslaught of complete total bullshit, just an excuse to yank on Russia's tail and create more enemies and unrest. These Neocons actually believe everyone on earth fears them. Never mind that they haven't actually ever won a war. They only know how to start them, and usually based on lies, false flag attacks, for the purpose of stealing some other countries resources and looting our own Treasury in collusion with their war profiteering cronys.
Republican - Party of the stupid.
james k. sayre @ 14:
Genocide is the goal, six million Afghanis murdered since 9-11, still a few million left to finish the job:
http://www.countercurrents.org/polya081107.htm
The hyphen ought to be moved one syllable to the right!
Finishing the job in Afghanistan has to do with oil and natural gas, not terrorists.. http://www.rense.com/general82/grand.htm
Maybe when "help" stops equaling bombing the crap out of a country and slaughtering hundreds of thousands of it's citizens in order to steal that nation's resources, maybe, just maybe, then other countries might regain some confidence in the U.S.
But right now, it is the U.S. that is making the world so dangerous.
How do these bullshit propogandist's sleep at night?
People try to respond to Kristol as though he is making a point -- he never does, he speaks to create an affect or a reaction. You never know what he really thinks. In this case, he is simply trolling for idiots (pushing the gullible into the Cheney/McCain camp) while bating the opposition. Don't confuse the finger pushing a Bishop across a chess board with the Bishop. So, although it is obvious that he's "Never been right about anything!" and I've noted that too, it is not obvious what he hopes to gain by his idiotic statements. What I find strange is that he continues to get a platform for the transparently useless crap he spews.
Also... and I'm trying to push this idea... I do not trust the ratings for either Fox News nor any of the Cheney/Neocon propganda support group such as Rush Limbaugh or other nut-job r-wing psychopaths. Someone with the means (that is not me) needs to carefully review the rise of Fox News and their claimed ratings. I highly suspect that the ratings have been gamed somehow. Look at how the once legitimate news people wet their Depends when they saw the so called ratings. How, for example now, can the propaganda outlets for the most disapproved administration of all time, claim a high viewership? Doesn't that smell bad to someone besides me?
Do these right-wingers ever think of anything but war? Why? I don't get it. Are there any psychologists out there that can explain their brains, like a profiler, then give us the counter-move? Please Mr. Myagi?
Georgia listened to george and invaded killing russian peacekeepers..Now why when we have satilites did george not tell his friends russia was massing. Bush and company are not nice people. Bound and determined to start WW3 isnt he..Where are our congressmen and media ,while george is doing this,on vacation..Never mind ,we will do their job and expose him..
With help like this, who needs hindrance?
Kristol is a total piece of human feces stuck to the bottom of a zionist shoe.
With our kind of help, who needs enemies? Or a dangerous world, for that matter...
Dear Bill,
We would all feel much safer if Israel didn't exist. Pass the word.
Thank you.
