Bill Kristol Just Wishes We Could Bomb Somebody And See How It Works Out

[jakeXT]

Bill Kristol knows we always need to be bombing somebody — how about ISIS this time? — but he can’t see the point of wasting all this time talking when there are bombs just lying around waiting to be dropped. In a chat with Laura Ingraham on her radio show, Kristol had little patience for all this stupid planning and caution, and said it was time to get to it. Ingraham said that while sure, maybe “previous administrations” may have caused the current mess in Iraq, she just can’t stand “doing nothing.”

Damn straight, said Kristol:

“Intellectuals overthink things,” he said. “We allied with Stalin in World War II, and helped create the captivity of Eastern Europe, you could argue… We got involved in Afghanistan to bring down the Soviet Union and probably helped create, indirectly, some of what came about in Afghanistan and ideas that led to 9/11. That’s life. Maybe we could have been cleverer in all these cases, but often, when you mess around in the real world, you have unintended effects and some of them are bad.”

...

“We’re underestimating the ability of what the use of force — even from the air, even with some people on the ground to help out — how much that could do [...]

“Someone said on a panel with me, ‘We can’t just bomb. We have to really think about this and have a long debate and discussion.’ You know what? Why don’t we just (bomb)? We know where ISIS is. What’s the harm of bombing (ISIS) at least for a few weeks and seeing what happens? I don’t think there’s much in the way of unanticipated side effects that could be bad there. We could a lot of very bad guys.”

1. However, it is already

letting the ISIS shits recruit even more people to their 'cause?'. There is only 1 bomb that could wipe them out, and we all know we can't use it with out really starting ww3.

2. And fugg however many thousands are killed as long as no

American journalists are victims.

I'd send Kristol to the front line.

Remember when you said "maybe we should lighten up on the Clintons"? You got ostracized for a couple of years for that.

10. I'm thinking that's the same logic he used to pitch Sarah Palin to the McCain campaign.

13. He is such a smirking asshole!

Why oh why can't we have a functioning media that exposes, rather than enables, sadistic looters?
