Bill Kristol knows we always need to be bombing somebody how about ISIS this time? but he cant 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 cant 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. Thats 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.

Someone said on a panel with me, We cant just bomb. We have to really think about this and have a long debate and discussion. You know what? Why dont we just (bomb)? We know where ISIS is. Whats the harm of bombing (ISIS) at least for a few weeks and seeing what happens? I dont think theres much in the way of unanticipated side effects that could be bad there. We could a lot of very bad guys.
