I thought his fingerprints were all over that NYT article this morning, and I believe I am right.

There are medications to cure this type of delusion.
Is the fact that the NY Times is against Kristol's policies are some kind of cover for the machinations, or were you just wrong?

Is it possible that he Saudi's released teh story to get the American intelligensia to pressure Bush to cave? I think that is more likely than your conspiracy.

LOL! You haven't been here very long, or you would know Kristol NEVER suggests things which are helpful. He has a long-standing grudge against the Bush family, and if President Bush said tomorrow that the sky was blue, Kristol would publish an article about how "humiliated" we were by Bush's caving to the sky is blue faction.

The Times prints articles that are loaded with "unnamed sources" and the big article under discussion on another thread is one of them. Very often the unnamed sources can be traced to Kristol.

Bill Kristol is not interested in promoting policies helpful to the Republican party. Sometimes his "suggestions" are supported by the Times, sometimes not.

One other thing...the Saudis are way too intelligent to think that Bush would cave under pressure from the "intelligentsia." Besides, the ambassador, Prince Bandar, has known the Bush family for years.

Fox News said that this might be an effort by a bin Laden faction to drive a wedge between the Saudis and the US. I think this is a possibility, although it seems Kristol's article was just way too coincidental in timing.

If you believe in the NY Times, you are the delusional one. You should up your meds, cancel your Times Subscription and try to find some real news. The NY Slimes is incapable of printing a story without twisting it to favor their left wing maggots in the paper and in politics.
