Oh boy I've been waiting so long for Trump to tuck into the media's #1 neocon. Come on Billy Boy sink with the rest of the Bush-Neocon ship.

That is pretty entertaining

Bill is such a nice smart guy but he's so aggressive on foreign policy. He's always wrong. He makes fairly reasonable sound predictions but they are always wrong. Then they put him back on tv and gives more wrong advice and predictions.

If there is anyone I despise more than Trump it might well be Bill Kristol.

Me too. In my case I definitely despise Kristol more than just about anyone including Trump.

Has Kristol EVER predicted anything correctly?

I liked Bill Kristol in City Slickers.

Kristol is one reason why I can't be a republican. I think I disagree with him on every single issue. I probably agree with Bernie or Fauxcohontas more than I agree with Kristol. But he and people like him have hijacked the republican party.

What happens if USA and partners never go to Iraq, or Vietnam, or if we went into WWll in 1939-40 not waiting to be attacked
by Japan? IDK

Saddam is still in charge, unless he's been overthrown and replaced by another dictator, human rights violations are still going on, there's no ISIS (where there have been worse human rights violations than in Saddam's Iraq), Iran's ambitions are still stalled because they can't get past Iraq. There are a bunch of dead Americans who are still alive. And Barack Obama probably doesn't become president in 2008.

Quote:or Vietnam,

We could, and probably should, have backed Ho Chi Minh in the first place. Same for Castro in Cuba. They'd be a viable trading partner today and one force opposing Chinese regional hegemony.

As it is, WWII didn't turn out that badly because of our waiting, with the obvious exception of Dachau and Buchenwald and the like. We won WWII because of our industrial might, helped because it was beyond the range of enemy bombs and guns. I'm not sure we were far enough along in 1939-40 to have been as big a player as we were by 1941.

The funny thing is that most of his predictions aren't crazy but they just never happen. He'll predict that it will be sunny tomorrow and it rains.

Bill Kristol is a hack.

Seems like we finally found something everyone can agree on.
