I couldn't put it better myself. The lefty at ThinkProgress asks:
"Another question: Mr. Kristol, if the administration’s policy in Iraq the last three years has not been a 'serious effort' why have you spent the last three years defending it?"
He obviously hasn't read much of Bill over the last three years. Kristol's distaste for the worst-of-all-worlds combination of neoconservative idealism being implemented by a pig-headed realist like Rumsfeld has been evident for a very long time. He's just a lot more diplomatic than I am. But, then, most people are.
