"[Bill] Kristol is like a horrifying right-pundit Chimera fusing together the worst aspects of Krauthammer and Barnes, but adding in a strain of raw cleverness that elevates – and yet denigrates – the resulting punditry from banal categories like ‘worst’ to more exalted realms of ‘dangerousness,’" – Matt Yglesias, gloves off. A little rough, but then Kristol is now writing:
Real progress has already been made in the war against Al Qaeda in Iraq, and the terrorists know it. That’s why they’re surging against our surge, and why they are attempting to convince us that we have lost when it is they who are losing.
Any argument to hand, I guess.
