William Kristol Hates American Soldiers
Now I am probably not telling you anything new in this title, but when I saw this op-ed by William Kristol in his Weekly Standard magazine (hat tip to Matt Y), I just suddenly got this pounding headache and resulting furious reaction.
In areas where policies are still being debated--in foreign policy in particular--conservatives need to keep urging Obama to do the right thing. We are disgusted with Obama's irresoluteness on Afghanistan. But we continue to urge that he side with the experienced military leaders he's been fortunate to inherit against the second-guessing of political hacks (and of failed ex-generals turned political hacks). We conservatives want American soldiers to win wars, American interests to prevail, and American principles to flourish. We want the bad guys to lose. We're happy to work with President Obama to defeat them--and we only wish he shared our clarity and urgency about accomplishing that task.
That is to say, Obama should only listen to active duty generals like Petraus (USCENTCOM), Odierno (Iraq), and McChrystal (Afghanistan), not "failed ex-generals turned political hacks" such as former generals Karl Eikenberry (US Ambassador to Afghanistan) and James Jones (National Security Advisor). The latter have, of course, counseled caution before engaging deeper into Afghanistan. To be more specific, the Republican political line seems to be "yeah, we always do what our generals tell us to do - so long as their statements support indefinitely continuing the wars in the Middle East." What a ridiculous little man he is.
As far as Kristol's other statement - he wants American soldiers to win wars and American interests to prevail - I really want to haul back and punch him hard in the stomach. If you cared one iota about the American soldier, you slime, you base villain, you would have been pestering the CheneyBush administration as to its inability to put adequate numbers of American troops into Iraq and Afghanistan and its refusal to grow the military force to the numbers required for a long post-war occupation. Now we have military families breaking up, military suicide rates going ever upward, promotions for any officer with a pulse, military modernization programs on hold because of mounting operational costs, and a trillion-dollar bill that was never adequately planned for,largely due to the CheneyBush administration's inability to close the deal after eight years of continued combat.
You clearly have no respect for the American soldier or for American interests. In fact, if you were working directly against the American soldier and American interests, you could not be doing a better job.
In the running for the title "Worst of the Chickenhawks."
This guy is like chewing tobacco - he's there but he shouldn't be in a perfect world. On the other hand, without his crazy rants how would we know if were doing something he approved of - that's when we'd have something to worry about.
As long as Republicans object to a policy we can be pretty sure we're doing the right thing.

We had a saying when I was in the military (I am sure it has been around for a while) to describe how we viewed politicians and the media's treatment of military personnel. This country has a "use 'em and lose 'em" policy. While soldiers are on the front lines dying for someone else's war, they are heroes. When they come back and bring up the true cost of conflict, they are traitors. It has been this way for a long time.

It was not wrong intelligence folks was Forged and Cooked.
Bill Cristol is one of the Funders of PNAC the NEOCON , Mafia responsible for most of the mess we are in Now.
They're not rich, they aren't Ivy leaguers and they are too stupid to weasel their ways out of devotion to the safety of their Nation through military confrontation.
A rotten fucker to his core.
a dick.

Well - he seems to have one since he often has both arms buried in his pants up to the elbow.

I just plugged a new LCD monitor in that shows this page and his picture.
It's not calibrated so If I look at the picture out of the corner of my eye, his face looks like a bare skull.
OOooo.
He might as well be - he's certainly a member of the undead, like Cheney, Rove, Armey, Bolton, Liddy, North, etc.

Kristol is walking, talking sewage.

if ever, has Kristol been correct about anything?
Positively NEVER!
Dear Billie,
Please define 'bad guys'.
kthxbai
....expendably ignorant white trash and useless minorities.
Because if this zombie respected and valued the lives of the troops he wouldn't be so quick to send them to die wiping Afghanistani ass.
4:30 PM Pacific and Rep. Steve King is hating American Soldiers for the next hour on C-Span 1.
that it was all about oil, like I said before they invaded.
They'll throw roses at our feet!
I wonder what would wipe that aristocratic grin off of the front of his pointy skull?
..he'd probably not be talkin' like he is.
Mickey: "It was an epiphany. Do you know what an epipany is?"
Keoni: "NOT NOW MICKEY!"
bloodsucking.
Do you think for one second that he realized that we are the bad guys?
By we I mean the Chimpy McStagger regime that took this country to war on a shit load of lies that killed or wounded millions of innocent people. Lies that have killed thousands of our soldiers. Lies that have reduced our stature in the world to that of a country ran by despots.
The bad guys because the current regime refuses to do the right thing by prosecuting those bastards and war criminals that put our country into this situation. That situation includes the current economic disaster of the Bush regime.
And you, Billy, are one of the worst of the bunch. You need to be right beside GWB while blindfolded and awaiting the command to "fire."
Fuck you bastards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
New Bugliosi's movie linked above.
I read the book. Definitely beyond a reasonable doubt, George W. Bush is guilty of murder.
Let's not forget that Chimpy was asleep at the wheel when terrorists were plotting to attack the US AND our Intel with details about how exactly they planned to attack was right under his fratboy face!!!
IMPEACH BUSH AND CHENEY NOW!!!!!!
..thank you nancy! However, their deeds and words have, or should have doomed them. We need the current administration to get past Health Insurance Reform and go after them. They won't and Obama will lose a lot of support unless w and cheney are brought to trial but its a nice thought isn't it?
Mickey: "It was an epiphany. Do you know what an epipany is?"
Keoni: "NOT NOW MICKEY!"
I can't stand this man. Personally, I'd prefer he go and spend more time with his father. Yes, I know he died a couple of months ago. What's your point? This is the same zipper lipped troll who goaded Bush and Cheney into Iraq. I'd like it if the entire Republican party went and spent more time with Irving Kristol!
Personally, I think he has lizard lips. He certainly is a cold-blooded bastard.
Why does anyone care what he says? I mean *anyone*? What is his life experience -- being the silver spoon blue blood son of Irving Kristol. That's it. Like George W. Bush, he owes everything he is to his daddy. Now that Heath Ledger is dead, the one thing William the Bloody could do well is inheriting the roll of The Joker.
and he wouldn't even need the make-up to make him look CREEPY!!!!

He equates American values with neo-liberalism and marketplace fundamentalism where 1% of the Nation prospers, and the rest are over-worked, or looking for work, long commutes, no medical insurance etc.

Because most American soldiers hate William Kristol
I opposed the Vietnam war yet went into the army...was promoted from a private to a commissioned officer. This asshole along with Limpbaugh and Cheney, etc. beat the drum, wave the bloody shirt and send off the children of others to die for their corporations and twisted dreams of glory. Yet, this asshole along with Limpbaugh and Cheney, etc. found excuses to run away from service but applaud war..They are exceptionalist, indeed. Everyone but them. They send in ill equipped troops...traitors.
Listen only to active service generals? What bullshit, The Generals, or military CEOs, want war to advance their careers. That is the truth.
The rush to war is led by traitors.
"we only wish he shared our clarity and urgency about accomplishing that task" - kristol
"our clarity"? who's clarity?
the band of idiots that lied us into iraq?
the club of dunces that pulled troops from afghanistan in order to put them into iraq?
the knuckledragging neocons that championed policies (ie, torture, iraq, etc) that served to only bolster international terrorism?
that group's clarity?
i think i guffawed and puked at the same time...
only fools heed kristol's mouth farts
all the reich-wing, evangelical, fake-xian, Rupkes are so quick to take the advice of chicken hawks (a,k,a, cowards who evaded the draft or in some manner did not do military service) with regard to military-related matters.
I wouldn't trust William the Bloody to suggest a good restaurant in NYC, let alone offer advice on how we should conduct wars abroad.
Bill, STFU.
"Egotism is the anesthetic that dulls the pain of Stupidity" - Frank Leahy
Is the worst sort of ideologue whose every utterance is coated in sarcasm and insult.He is truly "evil" in the same way Rove and Cheney are evil.They have an insatiable lust for war yet would never deign for a second to offer up any sacrifice of their own.No:it's enough*bring up the music*that these great visionaries choose to help guide America towards it's God Given Birthright..or something.
Actually I always imagine Kristol having to lug a 100 pound knapsack around in the searing heat with a helmet that's two sizes too big,pissing and moaning like the little turd he is.

Good thing it's all happening in Kristal's mind, and not for real. Get this man a therapist.

people such as Henry Kissinger. To give an idea of their views, Kissinger said, "Peace must be secured by the creation of small wars around the planet on a continuing basis so as to maintain an international order of economic powers, and of course, keep the military industrialists happy."
Kissinger also said, "Military men are dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns for foreign policy."
Neocons like Kristol and Kissinger don't necessarily hate military service members, they just don't care. They believe those serving in the military are expendable and necessary to help move the neocon agenda of pillage and plunder along.
But I really hate this man. He is the embodiment of all that is evil in America. He is a liar and a traitor.
He is directly responsible for helping to send 5,000 Americans to their deaths to advance his friends' sick, fascist, neo-con PNAC world-domination agenda.
If this man is not stopped, he will advocate more wars, more misery, suffering, torture, and imperialism. He doesen't just talk. He's part of a conspiracy to destroy our democracy and wage war all over the world to create a permanent Pax-Americana. Rummy, Cheney, yeah you guessed it....members. They feel we should just take what we want and kill whoever tries to stop us. After all, natural resources are dwindling and we must secure them by any means nescessary.
First The Gulf, then SE Asia and Latin America. Not for our people though. But for his corporate backers.

So Bill Kristol, political hack, hacks out some hackery about not listening to political hacks. Hmmm... Coded message?
Or emphysema.
Diabolus est Deus Inversus
is a photo of this asshat.
it's all so subjective these days...
Kristol is a joke
Reslugs have always hated our troops and constantly prove it.
"Political hacks"? Interesting choice of words coming from one of the biggest political hacks out there. Most experts tend to agree that Afghanistan is a lost cause. There's just not much to work with there, and there never has been. The other problem is we simply don't have the troops. Our military is already stretched WAY too thin, which puts us at risk. So, what does Kristol think we need to do in Afghanistan, precisely? It's a huge rural and largely primitive country with a corrupt central govt. Conservatives just love their wars, from the sidelines that is. They love to send other people's children to fight and die for lost causes. How many of these neocons ever actually went into battle? How many of those responsible for getting us into Bush's wars ever served in the military?
Were it not for the media's bizarre overinflation of the value of his pointless opinions and the ridiculous impact those opinions have on Washington, I can't help but laugh every time I see him. He immediately brings to mind the Monty Python Twit of the Year skit (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSqkdcT25ss&fe...). I think 'Oliver' in that skit has a lock on Kristol's value as an opinionator. He's the one who dies first in the contest by inadvertently running over himself with his own car.
"We (neocon chickenhawk) conservatives want America to win wars"
We just want somebody else to fight them.
The Neocon Chickenhawk credo: We start em, we cheerlead em, you fight em.
This clown with NO understanding of the commitment or the travesty of the commitment still does beat the Drums of war and Ignorance of such commitments.
When this clown speaks I shake with fear knowing that some brainless Idiot on the right is going to declare this moron knows what he is talking about.
If this clown is so big on the War on Terror why isn't he calling for investagations of the right wing Loony bin that got us into this mess.
Notice how these Cowards are constantly twisting ,Lying and Manipulating the FACTS yet take NO ACCOUNTABILITY for their mistakes.
I guess this is proof that if the Military Industrial Complex backs you you are gauranteed a job for life no matter how Stupid you are or how the FACTS prove you wrong in evry direction.
...exist in the world, this jackass will end up wearing a helmet and flakvest riding in a combat patrol in Afghanistan, preferably in a hummer. I would pay good money to see him shit his pants when the first round is fired or the hummer in front of him is destroyed by an IED.
I really hate this bastard with a passion.
Give the guy a break. He can't write. It was this lame ass bozo who went to Alaska and foisted Sarah Palin on us. Duh! This guy is a moron. I'd quit listening to his pronouncements, it's a waste of time. I only watch him on Faux Noise Sunday and love the way the camera catches him smirking at almost everything Juan Williams says. He got that smirk trying to brown nose Dubya, and in fair imitation of him, and like all the other neocons they got what they wanted: Iraq.

Was that silly and sensationalistic title really necessary? I clicked on it to see how far into the ditch you had taken it. You really set progressives back amongst the wing-nuts when you lower the discourse to that level. Grow it up a little, you know?
