President Obama
The Weekly Standard / William Kristol
13-Nov-2008 (6 comments)

John McCain staked everything on success in Iraq. He advocated the surge publicly and made the case for it privately. He defended it passionately and intelligently, and was indispensable in beating back critics, shoring up nervous supporters, and keeping enough public support for the surge so the Democratic party's repeated efforts to abort it failed. And as a result of the remarkable progress in Iraq over the past two years--progress whose possibility was scoffed at and whose reality was then denied by all leading Democrats except Joe Lieberman--Iraq faded as an issue in the presidential race. And with it, the critical question of who should be commander in chief also receded. By the fall of 2008, McCain got no credit for one of the great acts of statesmanship by a senator--let alone a senator who was also a presidential candidate--in American history. John McCain said repeatedly that he'd rather lose an election than lose a war. We ended up winning a war, and he ended up losing the election.

Neo crazy criminals

by smhb on

Its amazing that William Kristol is still read. This neo crazy zionist nut case who was one of the advocates of the Iraq war and an avid supporter of king george the idiot has also been an ardent advocate of war with Iran on behalf of israel, that victimized democracy in the middle east.

I think all neo liberals and neo cons should hand over their american passports, renounce their US citizenship, move to israel, join the IDF and do what all good israelis have been doing for the past 60 years: steal palestinian land, kill men / women and children, torture palestinians, humiliate them, then lie about it, act like a victim and blackmail the US.

Perhaps then their thurst for blood will be quenched.

Wait a minute?

Is this guy suggesting we WON the war?  What an idiot.

I'm all for being an ally of Israel.  But if she want's to pick a fight with Iran, I just hope that Obama tells them to stick it.  You made your bed, now lie in it.  We're done bailing your ass out every time you get your panties in wad.  Deal with Iran all by yourself.

Oh I'm sorry. A very intelligent, well-thought, planned out war

Check into reality samsam. I know it's fun to have Zionists and Jews rally around you on some web sites and tell you you're a genius and wise, but you're being fooled azizam. They just use you.

LOL. Some seem to be born with that kind of potential. That's probably the only explanation!
Have a good weekend pal.

Another dumb war by Israel

by I Have a Crush on Alex Trebek on

Israel is a war state and nothing more. No days of peace and they only like America so they can use us. Sad.
