Wolcott: "Permanent War for Permanent Fuckwits"

[Elidor]

It's almost impressive how much militaristic gusto is packed inside the inert biomass of some of our leading neoconservatives. Not only are they avid to have others wage World War IV, the final global battle of good vs evil being promoted by fight managers Norman Podhoretz and James Woolsey, but they're hankering to refight old wars that ended before some of them were born, assuming they were born and not hatched in underground silos. If only it had been George Bush or John Podhoretz sitting there with Churchill, Stalin never would have gotten away with that swindle at Yalta. And of course they wouldn't have wimped out in Vietnam, letting the liberals and peaceniks undermine our will to win. They would have released Slim Pickens through the bomb bay chute atop a nuke no matter how much it would have riled the Chinese.

One has to admire their feistiness of course, which will come in useful at the old folks' home when the nurse brings them watery pudding.

But perhaps our where-eagles-dare laptoppers might want to concentrate on the present and focus on winning the war we're actually now in.

You know, the one in Iraq. The one intended to roll back tyranny, rid the region of WMDs, and enable grateful Iraqis to put up a statue of George Bush at the intersection of Frank Gaffney Street and Michael Kelly Avenue.
