Kristol: "Indisputably Correct" That Lamont's Win Helps Al-Quaeda

Kristol: Cheney’s Claim That Lamont Win Helps ‘Al-Qaeda Types’ Is ‘Indisputably Correct’

Last week, Vice President Dick Cheney called Ned Lamont’s win in the Connecticut primary “disturbing” because “the al Qaeda types, they clearly are betting on the proposition that ultimately they can break the will of the American people in terms of our ability to stay in the fight and complete the task.”

Today on Fox News Sunday, Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol called Cheney’s remarks “indisputably correct.” Kristol said that anyone who advocates redeployment of U.S. troops from Iraq is helping al-Qaeda.

Transcript:Transcript:

WALLACE: Bill, after the events of this week — and I know you’re not going to like this question — but can you argue that the working class neighborhoods in Britain are a bigger threat to the United States than what happens in Baghdad?

KRISTOL: No. Look, there are lots of threats. It is a global war. The Bush administration, I think, is deeply correct about this. And what you do on one front affects what happens on the other front. Cheney’s statement is indisputably correct. It doesn’t mean that Ned Lamont likes al Qaeda or wants al Qaeda to win. But the notion that a retreat in Iraq would not embolden terrorists elsewhere in the Middle East, and terror recruiters in the suburbs of London, is ludicrous. Of course it would. Now, if you want to say we should get out of Iraq anyway because we can’t win and this is the price we have to pay, fine. But it’s just factually true that our pulling out of Iraq will be bad for us in the global war on terror.

2. In his next life, Bill Kristol will return as a urinal.

[marmar]

4. LOL, Old Crusoe...

An old, rusty nasty one that keeps breaking down and overflowing.

[saltpoint]

17. Hey there marmar. Good to see you this morning on DU.

I love the Zinn quotation in your signature line, and that big D there reminds me that the Tigers are having a better year than a lot of teams.

The Tigers and the Democrats are on the upswing!

[marmar]

27. Good morning, Old Crusoe...

Yes, it's time for the big blue "D" to rise again, in politics and baseball.

[Turbineguy]

6. I drink to that!

[Cassandra]

11. That's discriminatory!

How are we women supposed to piss on him!

[saltpoint]

14. Not to worry. He'll be available in the sit-down version as well.

Bill's nothing if not flexible.

[Hubert Flottz]

19. Shit on him...

He'd prolly like it...Hitler did!

[Cha]

20. In an al qaeda

outhouse!

[saltpoint]

22. ! LOL!

[drduffy]

24. my first laugh of the day... thanks

[panader0]

3. The "You're either with us or you're for them" attitude is moranic.

[Botany]

8. "Indisputably Correct" that we would be welcomed in Iraq too?

Kristol is a tool and evil.

[ananda]

9. PNAC sounds desperate to me...

I think it's on its way out as the rightwing kook group du jour.

[wtmusic]

10. The Arrogance

"It's just factually true that our pulling out of Iraq will be bad for us".

Only a Republican could think a prediction about the future could be considered a fact. :crazy:

[Philosoraptor]

12. If we pull out, it will make baby Jesus cry.

makes every bit as much sense.

[Demit]

13. "Deeply correct", "indisputably correct", "factually true"...

Methinks Bill Kristol is overselling his product a bit. Probably because he doesn't believe it himself.

[Cha]

15. Hey, fuck you, birdbrain...using words

like "indisputable" ain't gonna help that propoganda, warmongering bullshit you spew outta your fucking big mouth.

I'll tell ya what's "INDISPUTABLE"!..your boy bush helped al fucking qaeda when he bombed the shite outta Iraq based on LIES that y-o-u helped petpetuate.

You got blood on your on hands &.. face and you're A BIG DISGRACE! :nuke:

[n2doc]

16. I guess billy boy must have checked with his accomplices

in AQ.

[gratuitous]

18. Is it all falling apart for you, Billy?

Too bad so many thousands had to die to show you how wrong you and your pals were. You could have just listened to the millions of us marching in the streets in 2002 and 2003. You're not very bright, are you, Bill? Strange that any reputable network would have you on to bloviate what is so clearly the wrong position. Oh, it was Faux; never mind.

[Hubert Flottz]

25. No He's doing fine...

Right there on the TV EVERY WEEK, just like Annrrhoid, spouting their lies without anyone EVER calling their Bullshit, BULLSHIT!

[glitch]

31. And yet even with them propping him up every week, he still not able to

convince more people. In fact, he's losing people.
He's not fine, he's treading water at best, and taking big gulps more frequently.
He's going down with the rest of them.

[Hubert Flottz]

32. I hope you're right.

[glitch]

33. Me too! :) nt

[MysteryToMyself]

21. They try to make us support it so the world will accept it

The other day I heard on the news that almost 100% of the Israeli citizens were for the Israeli attack on Hezbollah. I wondered if they had a FoxNews over there.

That is the support that NPAC/Bushites want us to have for them. Anyone that isn't for them is against them.

Why support something we don't want, to please Bill Krystol?

[SammyWinstonJack]

23. Trying to make the election close enough to steal it AGAIN?

Just like they did in 2002 and 2004! Voters who continue to fall for this fear factor, need to have their head examined! Or grow up!

[saltpoint]

26. Judging from our remarks in this thread, do you think it's an

exaggeration to say that Bill Kristol isn't terribly popular on DU?

Is it just me, or does he seem not to enjoy fond admiration among our tribe?

[TechBear_Seattle]

28. The more neo-cons who root for Lieberman...

The more obvious it becomes that the Democrats of Connecticut made a wise decision.

Why does Cheney and Faux News and the rest of those far right wing extremists hate democracy so much?

[wryter2000]

29. He ought to know

He has Bin Laden's cell phone on his speed dial.

[DemonFighterLives]

30. Didn't dimwit cheney also say there was indisputable evidence

that Saddam had ties to Al Qaeda.
Cheneybot kristol is indisputably an idiot.
:silly:

[Garbo 2004]

34. this is the same guy who said there would be no Sunni/Shia factionalism

or possibility of civil war after Saddam was removed. It was laughable, he said.

The Iraqis aren't laughing.
