krauthammer = shameLess apoLogist for the neocons
Axis of Evil, Part Two

By Charles Krauthammer
Friday, July 23, 2004; Page A29


Did we invade the wrong country? One of the lessons being drawn from the Sept. 11 report is that Iran was the real threat. It had links to al Qaeda, allowed some of the Sept. 11 hijackers to transit and is today harboring al Qaeda leaders. The Iraq war critics have a new line of attack: We should have done Iran instead of Iraq.

Well, of course Iran is a threat and a danger. But how exactly would the critics have "done" Iran? Iran is a serious country with a serious army. Compared with the Iraq war, an invasion of Iran would have been infinitely more costly. Can you imagine these critics, who were shouting "quagmire" and "defeat" when the low-level guerrilla war in Iraq intensified in April, actually supporting war with Iran?

If not war, then what? We know the central foreign policy principle of Bush critics: multilateralism. John Kerry and the Democrats have said it a hundred times: The source of our troubles is President Bush's insistence on "going it alone." They promise to "rejoin the community of nations" and "work with our allies."

to invade the wrong country if they cannot defend themselves against us? Is that the PNAC game plan?

6. It is hard
to think of a greater waste of one's time than reading what cabbagepecker has to say. It is the same venomous crap time after time. Liberals is evil, Likud is party of God, you're not me so you are ignorant and unredeemable. Why this twisted man has such a forum to spill his bile is beyond me.

8. Krauthammer is an abomination
I just look at Limbaugh and Coulter with derision for the buffoons they are. However, when I see Krauthammer's article featured in my newspaper's Op-Ed once a week, I get a very violent reaction.
