Just a sample of Boy Billy's past pronouncements .....

"That decade of not policing the world ended with 9/11," he wrote.
Well, sure... except for, you know, an entire war known as "Operation Desert Storm." Or... umm... military interventions, missile strikes, and/or bombings in Somalia, Haiti, Bosnia, Kosovo, Sudan, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Kristol didn't entirely ignore those military actions, but rather, dismissed them as "weak" -- i.e., not initiated by a Republican (save Desert Storm)? 2013

In October 2008, Kristol urged McCain/Palin to ramp up the Ayers-related attacks against Obama. Less than a week later, Kristol was on TV chiding the GOP for running a “stupid” and “pathetic" campaign because the attacks ”haven’t worked” and the McCain ticket is “doing things that don’t work and they keep doing them."

“If gets a race against John Edwards and Barack Obama, she’s going to be the nominee. Gore is the only threat to her, then. … Barack Obama is not going to beat Hillary Clinton in a single Democratic primary. I’ll predict that right now.” —William Kristol, Fox News Sunday, Dec. 17, 2006

In 2006, Kristol told Charlie Rose that "we are at risk of a sectarian civil war , and I’m extremely worried about that. I don’t quarrel about that." And even though that proved to be correct, within a year later, Kristol went ahead and directly contradicted himself: "We’re not in a civil war. This is just not true. American troops are attacking al Qaeda.

In late 2005, Kristol made the bold prediction that Nancy Pelosi just ceded the House to the Republicans by endorsing an immediate withdrawal of troops from Iraq. He claimed that her actions would likely prevent a "Speaker Pelosi" from happening :

"We are tempted to comment, in these last days before the war, on the U.N., and the French, and the Democrats. But the war itself will clarify who was right and who was wrong about weapons of mass destruction. 2003

In the early 90's, Kristol told Larry King that '93 would be the “high water mark” of the gay rights movement, and that it was “all downhill from there."
