Agreed.
Billy is sad : (
Shut up, Cuck.
It doesn't take a political genius to know that attacking the Bush family in 2016 is good politics. Any presidential candidate with that last name would lose this election to a bag of sh!t.
Nobody wants to defend George W. Bush on Iraq because it was an unmitigated disaster. Jeb Bush is finding out what Lyndon Johnson was facing in 1968 when he realized that the Vietnam War destroyed his political career.

Kristol is a fool.
Remember this:
I see there are no predictions in this piece.
Bill Kristol is one of the neocon con-artists that sold us on the war.
We’ve realized it was a mistake, he hasn’t.
We apparently no longer live in such a time.
We live in the Age of Obama. A time when sniveling beltway careerist “conservatives” like Bill Kristol sip cocktails in rooftop bars while Democrats burn this country to the ground. He’s the last person to be lecturing to anybody about anything.
Well I’m not surprised. GWB didn’t even defend himself when he was president. Which is a big reason why we are in the mess we are in today.
Kristol represents the worst of the RNC GOPe.
As Billy carps on Trump every day for four years, I look forward to Trump telling the little pipsqueak exactly what he thinks of him.
It will be exactly what I think of him too.
Yes, where has been the outrage over Krystal’s complicity with the Leftist MSM?
Bill Kristol with the prototype neocon view of the world.
Frankly, outrage is getting passe. Who isn’t outraged? Women, blacks, whites, gays, socialists, you name it, everyone wants to write op-eds and march in the streets. We are not entitled to outrage just because someone expresses a differing view or even a critical view. Sometimes the high road is to quietly wait for a future moment to move the conversation to a better level, when one has an idea to offer, instead of just whining outrage.
I think everyone gets it that Bill Kristol really, really, really does not like Trump.
He’s cried wolf too much. When there is an actual somewhat legitimate complaint against Trump no one is available to listen because Kristol and his crew have tried every little angle they can possibly conjure up to bash Trump (and his supporters).
Even if you don’t agree with Trump on this one, you have to know that there are lots of people who were less than happy with the whole Iraq thing on the grounds that .. well, if Saddam was such a threat, why was no one else very worried about him? Why were the other countries in the Middle East so complacent? There was no real sense of urgency there among people who were within actual chemical weapon range of Iraq. They did not seem all that worried. Plus all the bad blood over there and multiple sides wishing we would settle their tribal and religious scores.
There is plenty of room for second guessing what was done without having to trash Bush. Trump, as everyone knows, doesn’t pull his punches.
I do not want to be indelicate with the ignorant. We are all God’s children and as such are Brothers and Sisters.
The invasion of Iraq was the greatest error ever committed in US history by a US president. I know you agree with that. But you and I disagree on if it was intentionally done with contrary facts available. I personally believe that it was done with intent to deceive. I believe that from available facts including the UN inspectors on the ground when we bombed, and the absolute fact that Iraq had ZERO to do with the killing of 3000 Americans on our land that Bush lied and people died. GO TRUMP!!
2 trillion dollars, 15 years. The middle east the worst it’s pretty ever been. America bring flooded with moslems. Yes, a little outrage is called for.
Go away Kristol.
Bush didn't even address the charge WHEN he was President. He completely forfeited the narrative, choosing to remain "above it all." Why? Probably because he knew damn well that Saddam's bio-chem weapons were transported to Syria in the run-up to the war when he was attempting to put together a coalition. If he admitted the truth, he'd have essentially been admitting that because of his decision to invade Iraq, Saddam's WMDs were now in much more dangerous hands (Syria/Hezbollah), a few miles from Israel's border. NOT an option. So he kept his mouth shut and played the fool.
He is a blowhard, and a weak man, as is clear by his insults and his threats (and actual lawsuits) against anyone who disagrees with or criticizes him.
