Charles Krauthammer, the Dr. Pangloss of carnage, castigates Obama today for failing to pay sufficient homage to the "miracle" that the U.S. has created in Iraq. No I haven't been drinking. Yet. He really said that. Here is the full quote:
When you become president of the United States you inherit its history, even the parts you would have done differently. Obama might argue that American sacrifices in Iraq were not worth what we achieved. But for the purposes of current and future policy, that is entirely moot. Despite Obama's opposition, America went on to create a small miracle in the heart of the Arab Middle East. President Obama is now the custodian of that miracle. It is his duty as leader of the nation that gave birth to this fledgling democracy to ensure that he does nothing to undermine it.
A small miracle indeed. I am sure the hundreds of thousands of dead, their many relatives, the maimed, and the displaced all wish that they could thank Mr. Krauthammer in person.
Chuckles' partner in crime, William Kristol, also appears on the Post online today to mindlessly parrot Republican talking points about Judd Gregg's withdrawal (it was all about the census and Rahm Emanuel), while he gasps at the outrageousus partisanship exhibited to date by Obama and his administration (yes, Obama.) I only post so that you can enjoy the many comments generated by the grinning death's skull. Maybe he will boost readership after all.
