Reaction to the Neo Con Mess

The NYT posted some realistic responses to one of William Kristol's nonsense pieces about Iraq and McCain, the necessity to stay in Iraq, and Kristol's perception of a maturity gap among Obama supporters. Here are a few excerpts. Why the NYT ever hired Kristol is still the stuff of incredulity.

- (Our troops) are sacrificing on behalf of an administration that made a terrible mistake and stubbornly refuses to acknowledge it or change any of the policies that led to it.

- If only we as a nation had spurned the “feel-good promises of irresponsible” neoconservatives in 2003, we wouldn’t be in Iraq today, and the estimated $2 trillion total cost of the war could be used to ameliorate many of the other pressing problems we face.

- ...didn’t realize how far (the conservative movement) had fallen until I read William Kristol refer to Clarence Thomas as “the most impressive conservative in American public life.”
