George Will vs. William Kristol.
George Will vs. William Kristol.

In today’s column, Will slams Kristol’s latest war-mongering and answers Kristol’s question, “Why wait” to bomb Iran?: “Perhaps because the U.S. military has enough on its plate in the deteriorating wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, which both border Iran. And perhaps because containment, although of uncertain success, did work against Stalin and his successors, and might be preferable to a war against a nation much larger and more formidable than Iraq.” Steve Clemons has more.

2. Strange to find myself
on will's side. He is an elitist pig, but on this issue he's a freaking genius; that comparison made easy when he is put up against krystol who (can you believe it) never served in the military. I say negotiate till the cows come home, then negotiate some more. This constant drumbeat for war by those who never have had nor ever will sacrifice a thing for their cause has to be some kind of psychotic disorder.

6. G. Will has been aggravated by Bush and his wars and his
"budget" for awhile now. He is conservative, but not a neocon, as best as I can tell.

7. Will gave Kristol a little taste of this on This Week (7/16), too.
Maybe his mother's passing is having an effect on him.

9. The Costanza-Kristol Rule: Do the opposite
If William Kristol says, "Invade Iraq", do the opposite.
If William Kristol says, "Nuke Iran", do the opposite.

I think Kristol should take up war gaming. He, Bolton, Wolfowitz, etc. could re-fight all the great battles. Maybe even get different outcomes than the real outcomes...and no real human beings would be killed or maimed.

Maybe it's a weird reciprocal thing. Maybe Dan Quayle's become 'Kristol's brain'.
