Dr. Krauthammer Finds The Prize In The Cracker Jack Box: Iraq!

The Doctor is in. Denial.
The operational consequences of voluntary contraction are already evident:

[...]

* In Iraq, a determination to end the war according to rigid timetables, with almost no interest in garnering the fruits of a very costly and very bloody success--namely, using our Strategic Framework Agreement to turn the new Iraq into a strategic partner and anchor for U.S. influence in the most volatile area of the world. Iraq is a prize--we can debate endlessly whether it was worth the cost--of great strategic significance that the administration seems to have no intention of exploiting in its determination to execute a full and final exit.

We think the real joke here is "HISTORY" on the Cracker Jack box. Must be where the evil doctor gets his history lessons, if his idea of good foreign policy is turning Free Prize of Great Strategic Significance Iraq (A sovereign nation, yes?) into Airstrip Two.

Fairness Ed. Notes:

That was in The Weekly Murdoch, not the Poo.

Grasshopper, sometimes we fear you focus your hate too much. There's an entire world of awfulness to hate out there.

Academic Dr. K., as in "Who's Kissinger Now?" is a realpolitik rip off of the original classic.

P. S.: Or the classic original.

That Dr. K he a smart cookie. "The bush administration fucked things up for 5 years in Iraq and may have leveraged a not-too-shameful departure by buying off the locals. Failure to turn this into an empire building exercise in 9 months is Obama's fault."
Fuck he's a creepy bastard. Why do people have him on the Teevee, Beck, at least, cries.
