They ARE expert NEOCON WARMONGERS.

Kee-rist almightly! Shocking that three neocons wandering around a controlled area with a Brigade Commander “discover” that it’s nice and secure. Dr. Hemlock was a mere Captain — let Bloody Bill and the Gang hang out at platoon level for an afternoon. Then we’ll see if wants to come back and blow sunshine and roses up our collective backsides.

Is this a serious statement? Do you not understand what the “dog and pony” refers to when dignitaries and pundits visit Iraq and claim they have gone out into the countryside? Kristol would have been more concerned with getting away from the dusty market as quickly as possible and finding a shoeshine for his overpriced loafers than he would in actual fact finding.

These guys are carted around under intense security and NEVER go anywhere near the highly unstable areas where the real threats exist. Kristol’s visit to Iraq is only slightly more investigative than Dumbya flying over New Orleans, looking out the window of Air Force One and giving the impression he’s got a handle on the scope of the crisis.

Kristol is attempting to further his neocon agenda of dominating the Mideast with US influence and he knows full well if we pull out of Iraq that vision is all but lost forever. The guy might act cool, but underneath he’s in panic mode that public opinion is turning against his master plan. His volume on the topic will only get louder as the debate heats up in the Fall.

Or were they only interacting with those who could speak English? I realize it’s POSSIBLE that most Baghdad Iraqis can speak English by now, but I think it smacks more of staging.

Or perhaps our soldiers were doing their interactions through interpreters. Assuming, of course, we have managed to get heterosexual ones by now.

How about PFCs instead of Lts???

This guy is certainly a member of the troll royal family, but you’ve got to give him -some- credit for putting his boots in the dirt. Again, I would’ve rather seen him with Lt.s than Col.s.

when markets are “blown up”, who does that? is it american servicemen?

I doubt if the original poster meant Kristol either, or American servicemen. It’s hard to know waht was meant when a) the original post is apparently gone, and b) the original poster isn’t clarifying their intentions. Of course, any thing I say is just assumption. You were asking so I answered.

People are little edgy here of late. Been just a little hostility thing goin’ on of late…

And the fu*khead has a regular column in Newsweek — there’s a periodical you can trust.
