Bill Kristol argued today on FOX News Sunday that Obama just gave a win to Al-Qaeda this week:
NewsBusters has more on Kristol’s comments today:
Bill Kristol has set forth a stinging indictment of the Obama admin’s handling of the war on terror.
It was a mistake to treat Abdul Mutallab as a criminal defendant rather than as an enemy combatant: “Mr. Brennan [Obama's top counter-terrorism adviser who appeared earlier] said to you that we’re very worried that there’re other Abdul Mutallabs out there. This Abdul Mutallab was there for four months. He might know who the others are. He might know their names. Will you let him lawyer up?”
… “Closing the embassy in Yemen last night? No one wants State Department officials put at risk, but that is a sign of weakness. Closing the embassy? We can’t protect our own embassy in Yemen, a place where we have special operations forces. A place we say we’re working with the government on the front lines of the war on terror? And there’s a terror threat, and we close the embassy? That’s a victory for al Qaeda. This last week has been a victory for al Qaeda in that region, I’m afraid.”

The best part of this show was the idiotic display by Juan Williams.
Last week he said that the genital exploder on flight 253 was acting alone.
I suppose he had to outdo himself this week by disagreeing with every comment Hume and Kristol made. And grimacing throughtout the entire thing…
Kristol is right–Muslim terrorists won:
airports jammed
bathrooms banned on last hour of flights
embassies shuttered
and the undie bomber is cutting a deal with our Obamunist prez. Grand Slam: al-Qaida.

Colin Powell where are you to talk about the man you endorsed for potus. Come out and reaffirm your choice.
manateespirit commented:
Bill Kristol was 100% correct.
I agree with Ladue Pundit. Juan Williams was driving me crazy today. My husband said he guessed Fox wants to present the liberal viewpoint…you know, fair and balanced and all that.
In a way, I’m glad Fox gives Williams airtime. It becomes apparent how stupid and illogical liberals are…in front of millions of viewers. I just don’t know he could argue with Kristol’s opinion today.

Hope this post goes through, last 4 have been lost!
Kristol is spot on, and Juan knows it. For him to oppose his words is just silly.

I kinda think that was racially motivated.
I think Colin Powell is one of the sharpest people in Washington and he understands the combatants. I don’t see him really thinking Obama would be better as CIC than McCain.

Giving that sob a sob atty was a mistake.
Closing the embassies. That is DEFEAT. And, every filthy mass murderer knows it.
Yemen is a distraction. The enemy is in congress and the white house.
This treasonous nincompoop makes Carter look “homeric.”

I agree Powell is a racist. But, it’s okay. He’s black: a typical black man. Same same Obama.
opaobie commented:
I disagree, I think they are serious about the war on Islamic extremists…they just happen to be on the terrorists’ side based on their actions…and inactions.
UncleZeb commented:
Is it just me or does it feel like the reign of Obama has come to an end?
Simon commented:
Mister Obama, are you paying taxes on your Al Qaeda salary?
Bunni commented:
Mr. Kristol was Spot on. The Terrorists won and they are laughing at us and they will escalate this war. Obama is horrible, destroying America from within. I”m glad the media is finally calling him out on it (at least some of them).

With the other video @#18 it is interesting to hear a dem/ex-dem’s view of the party now.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Powell said that he was going to support – and vote for – obama because he was black. That was his reason.
I lost a LOT of respect for Powell that day.

George Bush couldn’t wait to get rid of the back stabbing Colin Powell. Colin Powell is not now, or was he ever a conservative. He endorsed The ONE and has no regrets.
Don’t forget who it was that knew that Scooter Libby was innocent of all charges, but kept quiet, yeah you’re right it was Powell and his big fat assisstant, nice guys!

^ Wow, that website is sad. Seriously just say you are a scared fat white man threatened by change without any real arguments. Would save everyone the trouble.
The myopic terror mongering you spread would at least be honest that way.
manateespirit commented:
#33- I looked at this website. I think it was posted by Ann, and I doubt she is a fat white guy.
Exactly what do you have issues with in this site? What is incorrect? What are your arguments? Listed below are the three main question posed to the reader:
Are you terrified at Barack Obama’s campaign to change our country into a third-world nation?
Are you willing to sit back and watch Obama bulldoze our great nation?
Are you willing to let him construct a totalitarian regime… fascism, socialism, Obamaism… take your pick
Hhm. I don’t have a problem with those questions. I believe we ARE seeing a transformation of the country as we know it, after all, that’s what he campaigned on…with his power grab in all aspects of our business and personal lives, you can’t possibly deny something malevolent is occuring.
And I’m not a fat, white guy either.
squeaky commented:
“I don’t have a problem with those questions. I believe we ARE seeing a transformation of the country as we know..” if you don’t ask questions, it’s always seen as blanket approval of what they’re doing. nice way to turn it back on a populace when the magic moment meets the road of reality. a “well, you should have spoke up” moment and “how were we supposed to know”. when support of an agenda is made up of those with no skin in the game.
Corporal Vere commented:
Note to “Idiots” #33:
Try something besides ad hominem (look it up, moron) or insulting people you don’t know. Like try facts.
Oh, I forgot. vicious liberals (I repeat myself again) don’t like facts. Facts are not susceptible to hysterics (fabricated/imaginary crises and destructive ‘solutions’) or whining (feelings, nothing more than feelings . . . la, la, la, la).
Yeah, I’m a fat, 60 year old white guy that does 50 push-ups a day and shoots lots of guns. My K-Bar was more satisfying. My wife hates it when I go out without my BVD’s on.

The only thing that little Billy Kristol has ever “destroyed” is his own credibility. The dolt has never been right about anything. Period.
