Bill Kristol Doesn't Think He Owes Anyone An Apology For Hyping WMD Lies on Iraq

Bill Kristol is asked by a caller on Washington Journal whether himself, Fox News, The Weekly Standard or the any of the neo-con think tanks owe the American public an apology for hyping the WMD lies on Iraq. Of course Kristol doesn't think so, but then that would require some degree of introspection that I highly doubt the man is capable of for him to have answered differently. It also would require having something called a conscience, but I don't think Kristol has one of those either.
In his response he attempts to diminish the role these conservative think tanks and publications have had in pushing our government into going to war. Does anyone think that we would not have invaded Iraq had it not been for the influence PNAC, AEI and the rest of them had over our elected offials? He also does not address at all the role the "news" networks played in getting us into that debacle.

When icons begin to fall...the bottom of the ladder is many rungs down..
Bill Kristol appears a god damned right wing Joo who helped the Republiklan party invade Iraq by propping up Bush's lies. Of course the NY Times and the Washington Post appear just as guilty as the Weakly Standard.
Oh and Bush had plans to invade Afghanistan in July 2001. He provoked the 9-11 attacks. Why? Oil pipelines.

Of course he's not going to apologize or show any remorse. That would show weakness. He's a good soldier in the Chickenhawk Army. Doing his part to lead bankrupt America to victory over the evildoers of the world. And to defend our ever growing tent cities and rotten infrastructure.
chuckle, disdain, deflect. Typical warwhore. Someone should slap that smirk so far off his face that..........grr...no violence, no violence, no violence. Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.......happy place, happy place, happy place.
Oh and Kristol is a POS.
You bet. I happened to watch that particular part of WJ and had to turn off the set when he made that remark. (we simply cannot afford another one...and my hubby would be extremely displeased if I did anything to break it.....)...
I make a point not to watch - as I have for the most part lately - any WJ or Morning Joe.....talk about 'happy place'!!!!!
I am in a much better frame of mind and easier to get along with since I have cut out the 'news'......
Of course he played a part, but I will always believe, aside from the bush administration, the media played a much larger part. They followed the bullshit trail like a bunch of hungry dogs.
The international court will get to decide just who was responsible for this "illegal" war and Mr. NeoFascist Kristol will go to the head of the list.
Yes you can blame bloody bill and the right wing think tanks but don't leave out AIPAC, WaPo, NYT, CBS, NPR and the rest of the coporate whore media.
Yes, you're absolutely accurate in your assessment that AIPAC, PNAC, WaPO, etc. are going to be considered "complicitous contributors" under the law (international as well as american law) once these trials begin. The reichwing media nuts absolutely KNEW they were spewing lies and took their "marching orders" from the Bush/Cheney Federalist/PNAC "nutjobs". They will get their just due and soon. Internationally countries are organizing to take these sickos before the international tribunal. They will find themselves in prison for what they've done.
As for Billy The K's refusal to apologize? What mass murderer ever does? I rest my case.
Irving Kristol, Billy's Pappy, was dubbed the "godfather of neofascism". A student of fascist Leo Strauss, we see that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. It's in the genes.
Check this out to better understand where this mentally disturbed wingnut is coming from:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irving_Kristol
Kristol on the truth:
"There are different kinds of truths for different kinds of people. There are truths appropriate for children; truths that are appropriate for students; truths that are appropriate for educated adults; and truths that are appropriate for highly educated adults, and the notion that there should be one set of truths available to everyone is a modern democratic fallacy. It doesn't work."[12][13]"
And a "truth" for Congress:
FOLKS Iraq WMD was not a "hyping" was a LYING:

Spin, spin, spin. Language is more important than ever in the information age. People are so easily misled.
How about the "negative growth" of the market. Isn't that called CONTACTION? But, how many actually listen, think and process?
Thats the thing: When you lie publicly, repeatedly, and constantly for over 6 years, continuing the tradition is easy.
However, not showing remorse is no lie, it comes naturally to these people, just like lying does. He and the other neocons do one thing well, they lie. Showing no remorse, however, they do without any effort whatsoever. Didnt quite comprehend the callers opening statement but thank you Atlantic Beach Florida
It's clinically labeled pathological lying - lying repeatedly and arguing that your lies are true. Bush has had a problem with lying all of his life so he was the natural "patsy" for the reichwing neo-nazi agenda of this group. They also knew that they had to corrupt the election system in order to get their puppet installed. Katherine Harris and Jeb Bush were willing and compliant abettors to this scheme. Then enter Kenneth Blackwell, Ohio Supervisor of Elections, to put their "shill" in again in 2004. Where does the WTC while Bush read My Pet Goat all fit in? Time will tell that story....No 911/No Patriot Act/No Coup on this country.
In case anyone doesn't know....Jeb Bush is a PNACer...a signatory to PNAC. He is in the partial list of signatories on the site.
just sayin' You know, there is one thing I have never gotten an answer for..I was trying to find a site with the State of Florida's 'charter'...in order to see if any state AUTOMATICALLY has provisions for National Guard enforcement in case of unrest from 'terrorist attacks'. Could never find such a site for Florida. Why am I asking?
On September 7, 2001, Jeb Bush did indeed, put out an Executive Order stating in the # 3 place a provision for the National Guard to be activated in case of civil unrest because of some calamity or TERRORIST ATTACK.
Just saying.
Will any neocon show remorse?
Simply, NO. To them they have fulfilled their own self-made realities. It's called being an ideologue. They don't see anything wrong, and wonder why we don't see their "truths." That's the problem. Ideologues have "the answers" before they begin, and then alter facts to fulfill their fantasies. (Easily done -for the masses- if you have an ounce of cleverness.)
As the drill/baby/drill meme distills down to a comprehensive chorus of "jail/baby/jail", we will see the criminals who have derailed not only this country but the rest of the world as well get their due.
How many war crimes will be attributed to this cabal of misanthropes?
5,000+ american troops, over 100,000 innocent Iraqis....and that's just the beginning. Let's see....for "each" bona fide war crime, that's how many years for each of them?
Swing, baby, swing.
Why isn't Kristol in jail? I thought aiding and abetting aggressive war was a crime. Why do warmongers get air time on C-SPAN while peace activists get covert surveillance by the FBI?
Because we live in an upside down world where war is peace, black is white, up is down. It's up to Progressives to set things right.
Kristol thinks people like him. People don't, he needs to quit his public "activism" and take up something like shuffle board.
It is a tremendous burden to be always right.
Bill Kristol bears up under the burden knowing he is always right.
That Bill Kristol is given such a large stage in American politics,political media and allowed to declare how right he is no matter the evidence of his being not right surely a wonder of this early 21st century here in United States.
This quality then also described in relation to kings as being the "divine right".
Even if only King of BS and Neoconia Absurdia.Like Bill Kristol is.
access to top life extension medicines and technology.
still babbling and getting in people faces on the idiot box.
if they become desperate enough.
Speak for yourself, Tiny Tim.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gleiwitz_incident
The Gleiwitz incident, sometimes incorrectly referred to as Operation Canned Goods, was a staged attack on 31 August 1939 against the German radio station Sender Gleiwitz in Gleiwitz, Upper Silesia, Germany (since 1945: Gliwice, Poland) on the eve of World War II in Europe.
This provocation was the best known of several actions in Operation Himmler, a Nazi Germany SS project to create the appearance of Polish aggression against Germany, which would be used to justify the subsequent invasion of Poland.
On the day following the Gleiwitz attack, 1 September 1939, Germany launched the Fall Weiss operation — the invasion of Poland — initiating World War II in Europe. On the same day, in a speech in the Reichstag, Adolf Hitler cited the 21 border incidents, with three of them called very serious, as justification for Germany's "defensive" action against Poland.[6] Just a few days earlier, on 22 August, he told his generals "I shall give a propaganda reason for starting the war; whether it is plausible or not. The victor will not be asked whether he told the truth."[3][5]
Sounds familiar?
Isn't a coincidence that SOMEHOW stronger Imperial powers get "PROVOKED" by their weaker victims?
Busted the neocons.
This won't be the last time we witness this.
Growing up, my neighbour was from Eastern Germany. To this day he believes Poland attacked Germany, and they were just defending themselevs. Propaganda works, especially if the populace is not vigilant and not informed properly (see MSM).
Wee Willie Wanker is waiting for us to apologise to him!
Wee Willie Wanker is a prissy prig and you can kiss his bumass brain cuz that's who Big Brother/Nurse-Mama/Daddy is feeding us.
Right wing warmongers never have to say the word sorry. I also agree the media needs to apologize as well. Won't ever happen, but at least we know the people that are at fault here. Even the 27 percenters know, they just will never admit it.
"Does anyone think that we would not have invaded Iraq had it not been for the influence PNAC, AEI and the rest of them had over our elected offials?"
There probaly would not have been any terrorist attacks in 2001 either if it had not been for them. But that's a whole other story all together.
Damnit Billy!!! I was supposed to drive.
for the ICC.
William Kristol's, Robert Kagan's, and Dan Senor's FPI is the new PNAC.
The media's attention must be called to this so it can be stopped in its tracks and discredited before it starts.
Make sure you know this snake in the grass is re naming and reorganizing his murderous group of snakes and killers:
PNAC is renamed:

He even looks like a snake. QUACK QUACK.

Smug, self-satisfied, smiling shit
CNN gives AEI's Bill Schneider time to "catapault" the propaganda. Schnieider is presented as the impartial expert who always speaks the truth. The moderates bought stuff like that, and we went to war.
Yeah, that sure is liberal media.
You're asking Bill to admit he's guilty. Come on, what do you expect him to say? "Duh, I'm guilty and should be in prison." Don't think it's going to happen even though it's true -- guilty as sin.
What's this, false modesty when it's convenient?
Does this idiot even know his history?
Many scholars place the blame of the Spanish-American war of the 1890's squarely in the lap of William Randolph Hearst's rabble-rousing.
to repeat the lies from 1000 radio stations to a crowd the size of the one that voted for obama, prechewing them to make them acceptable for politicians and in the rest of the media, frightening the masses, and intimidating bush critics. that is what made the difference and why democracy has broken down over the last 20 years, since reagan killed the Fairness Doctrine.
and it could not have been done if progressives, liberals, dems hadn't turned the dial every time limbaugh and hannity and their local blowhards gave them a headache. the talk radio monopoly that will do the bulk of the GOP's obama obstruction is still UNCONTESTED.
making fun of rush "consumption" limbaugh is good sport but as long as the GOP talk radio monopoly itself is ignored and underestimated by those it attacks the most, american democracy is fucked.
my point is that krystol like many on fox and the sycophants that make up the new republican party ride a bandwagon that wouldn't go anywhere without limbaugh and hannity and co and their coordinated uncontested repetition from 1000 stations.. they'd be laughed off and marginalized without the talk radio monopoly to pound the countryside and all the red states with their intimidated limbaugh democrats and disproportionate number of senators. .
If that's his opinion, then nobody owes him an explanation or due process if he's renditioned and interrogated.
His privileges for having breathable air should be revoked, though I'd settle for a war crimes trial of him and his ilk.
I want his head on a pike as a warning to other lying chickenhawk puppeteers.
Literally or metaphorically, I'd be happy either way.
Killer Kristol is Wanker Extraordinaire!
Kristol's claim to fame: Dan Quayle's Chief of Staff! You just can't make this stuff up.
Hey, does anyone understand what that caller says at the beginning of his question? He says something like, "Surprise, surprise...the number one XXXXXX in the world in favor of a war." Then he laughs and says "Oh, my God...." and then asks his question.
I've listened to it a number of times but cannot understand what the "XXXXXXX" is. I thought it might have been "asswipe," but I think it's something else.
This jerk really pissed me off at he end of this video, when he gets that damned, smug grin on his face and makes the comment about Obama sending more troops into Afghanistan.
If Bush hadn't gone into Iraq and not taken his eye off of Bin Laden and the Taliban, perhaps Obama would not have had to make the decision he did last week about Afghanistan.
God, I hate these neocons.
Bill doesn't want his new paycheck to be lost, or the opportunity to get us into a new war for that matter. That way his Carlyle stock will stay nice and high.

In 2009 the United States--and its democratic allies--face many foreign policy challenges. They come from rising and resurgent powers, including China and Russia. They come from other autocracies that violate the rights of their citizens. They come from rogue states that work with each other in ways inimical to our interests and principles, and that sponsor terrorism and pursue weapons of mass destruction. They come from Al Qaeda and its affiliates who continue to plot attacks against the United States and our allies. They come from failed states that serve as havens for terrorists and criminals and spread instability to their neighbors.
that his think tanks are not like teenaged boys sitting around playing the game of Risk. Real people's lives are involved not little squares of wood.
But then again, maybe Kristol never got past the teenaged- boy stage.
This seems to be a common proclivity amoung GOP operatives, in more ways than one.
Heh.
Bill Kristol is THE quintessential "Crook and Liar."
William the Bloody Chickenkawk Kristol is far from the harm, throwing grenades of lies and propaganda safely from FOXaganda studios. It's not his life he's putting on the line for his lies and wars so why would a konservative kowardly chickenhawk like Kristol apologie or show any remorse for those he's killed? It's not the kowardly konervative chickenhawk way to accept responsibility but rather to deny and pass the buck.
The dead won't listen and the refugees are too busy pimping themselves or their kids in neighboring countries to stay alive to pay attention to what some rich bastard in New York says.
he also screwed a lot of people but he should apologize for his small wanker...
Kristol is the only man in America making a living at being wrong and doing his job badly.
This guy is a sick F
He needs to be punished for high crimes but that will not happen because OBAMA will do nothing.
and have been misdirected to some annoying bitch who is telling me I need to go wax my crotch or something.
I HAVE HAD IT with this bullshit concerning William the Bloody.
This is a test to see if this gets through.
Watch this shit:
William Kristol confronted on CSPAN by a caller: "LIAR"
ROCKS!
I tried so hard to get through to this serving Israel first traitor to America (Founding Father George Washington warned US of his ilk via his 'Farewell Address' which is linked at the bottom of http://astandforjustice.org
Be sure to read Dr. Stephen Sniegoski's 'The Transparent Cabal' book which sticks it to Kristol (and company) hard for getting US into the Iraq quagmire for his beloved Israel..
Viewer call for Chip Reid on C-SPAN's 'Washington Journal' this morning
http://tinyurl.com/cqnp9f
And Kristol is at it yet again (trying to expand the quagmire in Iraq to Iran):
Welcome to the new PNAC:
http://foreignpolicyi.org/about.html
Do a Web search for Dan Senor who is with Kristol in this new Foreign Policy Initiative think tank as he is a full blown Zionist Jew with a sister who works with the AIPAC office in Jerusalem. Senor married Campbell Brown (of NBC and now CNN) as she even converted to Judiasm for him! Incredible...
Check out the following 'Whose War?' article which mentions Kristol and Kagan:

he is a sad sorry excuse for human being.
There is a special place waiting for him and others like him.
That basket on the other side of the guillotine?
Kristol Laughs about putting more troops in harms way in Afghanistan!!! Alert the media! (See the 1:30 mark of video)
I can just hear the sycophants on Fox news: "Mr. Kristol, do you think it was appropriate to laugh at the prospect of President Obama being forced to send more troops into harms way in Afghanistan?"
Support the trials and capital punishment of those who lied us into wars and helped to start them.
We are making a list checking it twice gonna find out who's complicit in warcrimes and who's nice.
Angry Mobs are coming too town!
