Glenn Greenwald on the same bunch of idiots trying to lead us into another war in Iran:
Steyn — and the long list of Bush loving comrades who mouthed these same pieties — was painfully, disastrously wrong about the most profound political and military question of our generation. He ought to be too ashamed to continue pontificating and too shunned to be able to do so — at the very least without his admitting error, recanting and apologizing.
But the opposite is true. The same people who were wrong about everything — literally — and who viciously mocked those who were right, now want to use the same mindset and assumptions to guide us into our next war. That really is what Democrats ought to be asking the country this year — whether they want those who promised quick victory in Iraq, and who proclaimed that we had quick victory, to be able to lead us into more wars of the same kind.
Charles Krauthammer today came out and explicitly said that it is necessary for us to confront Iran militarily, i.e., start a new war against Iran. Democrats should make this election about this question because it is, in large part, what the election is about — whether the country wants the same people who dragged us into Iraq to do the same in Iran, Syria and beyond.
Isn’t Herr Krauthammer the character that
Dr. Strangelove was based on?
Oh, wait, I got that backwards. Der Krauthammer
is a Dr. Strangelove impersonator.
