We owe a debt of appreciation to Vincenzo Kolchak for his reading William Kristol so that we my continue to avoid the NEW YORK TIMES columnist.
I think this may be the second column I have scanned Kristol’s column (I can’t bear to read every word). It’s really the height of chutzpah, to push Russia on areas clearly within their geographical bailiwick (and clearly, from a military point of view, way out of ours) and to screw around with things like warm water ports (although Murmansk should soon become Russia’s Cote d’Azur).
Reading this is taking a trip back in time to the fifties (or maybe to
the thirties). What’s next? Perhaps it’s a campaign to send stuff (like “Bundles for Britain”) to the suffering Georgian civilians — “Goodies for Georgia” or “Oodles for Odessa.”I think the title to Kristol’s piece, if he were halfway grounded in
reality, should be, “How Has Georgia Gotten Away with It Up to Now?”Oh well, Condi finally has a chance to use her profound understanding of the USSR to draft a new, lunatic foreign policy — actually, as I think of it, it could be the first written piece of policy out of the state department since George has been prez.
Maybe Condi can use her brilliant intellect and her deep wellspring of
energy to align the “evil empire” with the “axis of evil” — how will
Bush’s favorites, the “evildoers,” fit in?Kristol is only one little eddy in the perfect storm of incompetence
Bush has unleashed. I wonder what the Times is paying him for crap like this?–Vincenzo Kolchak.***
