So Krauthammer is trying to get the Rs to be peaceniks now.

[Skidmore]

Just heard a reading of his new commentary on trying to castigate the wars as Obama's problem and that we should get out of those countries and quit trying to nation build. Wasn't that what we've been saying for years? Apparently old Charlie thinks we don't have memories of the blatant warmongering the Rs did and the mocking of any statement against those wars by anyone of any political stripe.

I'm getting dizzy from the twists and turns the Rs are taking to try to make themselves relevant to the times.

1. Yeah, it's a good thing for him the birthers don't use cognitive skills

like reasoning and the like, and that they don't do nuance. It makes it easy to spin them around 180 degrees and have them fight for their enemies. Yep, that's teh stupid alright.

2. If Bush were in power, he would write columns about the need to stay the course

Krauthammer and every right-wing columnist have no credibility.

3. Getting clearer that this is a GOP plot afoot to claim "Obama is LBJ" to damage Dems for 2010

Never mind that Bush made this huge mess and left it for the Dems to clean up.

Also never mind that during the campaign all of these folks were shouting that Obama would make a 'precipitous' withdrawal.

I am not sure where Obama is going with Afghanistan, but I sure know politically opportunistic bullshit when I see it from the right wing commentators.
