Chutzpah, Thy Name is William Kristol!

By Robert Justin Lipkin

ADVERTISEMENTS

William Kristol's column today in the NY Times "What Obama Left Out" says more about Kristol than it could ever say about Obama. Kristol, wk:

famous, inter alia, for being one of the most strident voices urging war with Iraq and then Iran, but never thought it necessary to serve his country during the Vietnam War has the gall to fault Obama for not recommending military service to Wesleyan graduates. Kristol, who has no qualms about stretching the United States military dangerously thin, who has never made it a primary concern to properly arm our soldiers in battle, and who never once insisted on providing the requisite resources to treat their injuries through an effective, properly funded, VA once they return home has the temerity to condemn Obama for a speech. If the United States military had to choose one friend and the choice was between Kristol and Obama, Obama would win hands down. Check out his brazen hypocrisy on stilts here.
