Kristol calls Donks âCrazy.â |
2005-12-14 |
Bill Kristol, executive editor of The Weekly Standard, said Senators Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Carl Levin (D-Mich.) are "crazyâ if they believe that Americans donât want to win in Iraq. Kristol, appearing Wednesday on Fox News Channel, made his comments in response to a press conference called by the Democrats prior to President Bushâs speech Wednesday on the progress in Iraq and the war on terrorism. Reid and Levin, looking grim during the press conference, both droned about how the presidentâs plan to "stay the courseâ in Iraq does not give hope to Americans living in the United States. "This nation roots for success,â Kristol said. "If the war goes badly, theyâll blame President Bush, and rightly so. But they [Reid and Levin] looked defeatist, like they are half-rooting for failure. "They are so grudging in their praise for Bush and the Iraqi people who are turning out to vote in this weekâs elections at a great personal sacrifice, that I think Americans will reject or dismiss their comments completely.â Kristol said the Democrats are foolishly and appallingly pinning their hopes on future setbacks in Iraq to help drive down President Bushâs approval numbers, which have been rising in the past few weeks. "Politically, patriotically and from a human point of view, I donât understand why these Democrats donât lay off the politics and just watch the voting over the next few days,â he said. "Americans are rooting for victory â for our soldiers and for the Iraqi people.â I heard Reid and Murtha on Hugh Hewitt and tif they were giving a pep talk to the Iraqis on the eve of their elections they fell way short. Listening to them you would think that our troops were trapped at Dunkirk and on the brink of surrender. THANK GOD they are not in power and god speed the Iraqis in their first steps in Democracy. |
