Kristol: Reid’s Iraq Remark Is ‘Much More Disgraceful Than Anything Trent Lott Said’

This morning on Fox News Sunday, Weekly Standard editor William Kristol said that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s (D-NV) remark that the Iraq war is lost is “much more disgraceful” than Sen. Trent Lott’s (R-MS) 2002 claim that the country would be much better off if it had maintained racist segregation policies.

“What Harry Reid said is much more disgraceful than anything Trent Lott said, and I do think Democrats should ask Harry Reid to step down,” Kristol said.

NPR’s Juan Williams stared at Kristol with a look of confusion. “Brit says it’s ‘laughable,’ you say it’s a ‘disgrace.’ I think what he said is the truth. I mean, it’s unavoidable,” Williams said. “Most Americans think we should have never gone in there, so he’s speaking in a voice that represents the majority of the American people.”

Watch it at link~

As Juan Williams points out, Reid’s comments are hardly controversial. They are shared by President Bush’s regular military adviser Henry Kissinger and several senior U.S. military officials, as well as a majority of the American people:

Washington Post/ABC News poll, April 16:

Will U.S. win or lose the war?

Lose: 51%
Win: 35%

Rasmussen poll, April 16:

Thirty-three percent (33%) of American voters believe that history will ultimately judge the U.S. mission in Iraq a success. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 50% of Likely Voters believe the mission will be deemed a failure.

1. Kristol can't handle the truth

There's nothing more pathetic than chickenhawk republican crybabies

[rusty charly]

2. chickenhawk republican crybabies:

[crikkett]

6. er, what beautiful babies!

[rodeodance]

10. te he. Is that all Bily K. has? No analysis--just popping off as usual!!

[MurrayDelph]

19. I'm not sure that he "can't handle the truth"

I do not know of evidence that he has ever tried...

[DBoon]

20. What do you expect form someone who "makes reality"?

In his fantasy we are invincible warriors.

Admitting we aren't would break the magic neo-con spell and destroy their powerful reality-making magic.

You do this and they will be just like the rest of us peasants - forced to observe reality. Maybe even forced to live in reality.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

3. No, what is actually disgraceful is that a waste of reptilian DNA like Billy Kristol

still gets so much air time.

[BlueManDude]

4. Kristol's got a suite booked at the Hades Hotel when his time is thru.

[crikkett]

5. oh. my. gawd.

How do you even address that? There's no logical way to compare Reid's and Lott's remarks as more or less disgraceful than the other.

[State the Obvious]

7. But...let's talk about Bush's "disgraceful" actions

President Bush's extending the troops' stay in Iraq is MUCH MORE disgraceful that anything Harry Reid ever said. This is a case of words vs. actions.

Which is worst? Harry Reid's words? Or George Bush's actions?:crazy:

Don't allow the Republicans to spin this away from Bush.

[The Stranger]

8. So Kristol thinks America would be better off without African Americans having civil rights?

Could he make this any more clearer?

[Toots]

9. Krystol is more disgraceful than Imus and he should be held accountable for his LIES

Krystol is another well renowned LIAR as are all Right Wingers...They have ZERO credibility and should not even be given air time to further their LIES and Deceit.

[SpiralHawk]

11. "There are still Massive War Profits for republicons to reap." - Kristol

"And that is what winning is all about (for us republicons).

"Too bad about all the dead people, but that's undoubtedly the fault of the liberals.

"With Commander AWOL and Dickie "Five Military Deferments" Cheney leading us, we will triumph (in our profit and loss statements)."

- Willie (I'm just another republicon chickenhawk) Kristol

[Monkeyman]

13. Yep

[LibDemAlways]

12. One time on C-span's Wahington Journal a caller

asked Kristol if he had ever served in the military since he was so pro-war and happy to see other people's kids go off to die in Iraq. He hemmed and hawed and finally the little chickenshit bastard weasel said no he hadn't, but that there were "other ways to serve one's country" and he felt he was doing that as an "editor and commentator." So easy to spout such crap from behind a desk in a tv studio in Washington. It was all I could do to keep from throwing a heavy object through my tv screen. What a smug, pompous POS.

[Cha]

Oh yeah, that's really putting your

ass on the line. Insulated at fauxnoise spewing lies with impunity.

[Jack Rabbit]

14. I don't give two bits what Bill Kristol thinks.

He hasn't had anything right since 1979.

[Atman]

15. Kristol is an authority on being disgraceful.

When we start putting worthless shitheels on ice flows and casting them adrift, Kristol should be among the first in line.

.

[LibDemAlways]

17. I'd rather see him naked and unarmed on a

Baghdad street with a lot of posters up that this is one of the bastards responsible for this clusterfuck.

[Atman]

18. Put him in make-up and bra & panties, send him down Main St w/o a Burkha

nt.

.

[Cass]

16. Oh for Gods's sake, these people a bunch of screaming mimis.

They are just shrill braying jackasses. So, a senator suggesting that we should racially segregate people is acceptable to Kristol but we should fire Reid because he says the war is lost. My head cannot take anymore of this nonsense. Do these people ever just stop to listen to what they are saying??

[Beelzebud]

21. These neo-cons act like "the troops" are a bunch of sniveling babies who crumble when they hear the

truth...

[TwilightGardener]

22. How dare Harry Reid say that Kristol's shining masterpiece of a war

is a failure? HOW DARE HE?

[edhopper]

23. Before the war

Kristol said that there was no history of sectarian violence in Iraq, and that any predictions of civil conflict after an invasion were a matter of “pop psychology.”

And Reid should apologize!?! WTF!!

[Cha]

24. And, kristolfuckhead, what of

bush's showing the troops positions on national tv? WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?

Get your little chickenhawkbreath ass to Iraq, billy kristol.

[LynnTheDem]

25. So the US majority are disgraceful?

:eyes:

Rightwingnuts; stupidest MFers on the planet.

[flyarm]

26. SHUT YOUR PI E HOLE KRISTOL..YOU WAR MONGERING

MTF!!

no one give a shit what your pnac bullshit is!

FLY

[Robbien]

27. You Wish Kristol. Ha.

We cannot imagine how hard Kristol wishes was true.

Stop your squirming Kristol. Not gonna happen. Ha!

Again, Ha!

[Swamp Rat]

28. Why waste time defending the accusations of a neo-nazi?

What a neo-nazi wanker!

Just fling a pie in his face and tell him to SHUT THE FUCK UP!

[StarryNite]

29. Kristol

can take his PNAC and shove it up his ass...sideways.

[MN ChimpH8R]

30. Delusional. Batshit Crazy

People in this much denial and so out of touch with reality are flat out mentally ill, and I mean that seriously.

Kristol's little red choo choo has finally chugged around the bend.

[WinkyDink]

31. What has Trent Lott got to do with the Illegal Iraq Invasion? STRAW MAN.

[BlooInBloo]

32. Duh. To people like Kristol, Lott didn't say anything disgraceful.
