One so-called neo-con goes against Rumsfeld. One. More great reportage from the MSM.

William Kristol, editor of The Standard, suggests that Rumsfeld has fouled up everything in Iraq and ought to be fired for his failures."""

Can someone please explain Billy Kristol to me? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought I remembers that when military men were telling Rumsfeld that the Iraq invasion was foolish, or that invading Iraq would require many more soldiers than he proposed, Billy Krisol's magazine run an article entitled something like, "War's too important to be left to the generals" Didn't such an article run - help me ought here, if you're a subscriber to Billy's magazine???? But now, Billy Kristol is saying the generals who criticized Rumsfeld - and who were themselves, if I recall, criticized by Billy Kristol's magazine - - were right? I don't get it. Can someone please explain Billy Kristol to me?

a war that so far has cost nearly $200 billion"""

As a fiscal conservative and low-tax supporter, I find the staggering cost of this war to be appalling. It's going to create real pressure for a tax increase, I fear.
