I’m looking forward to a three-day weekend! My last one for a long time. And there’s so many things I need to do…

No, the Democrats and the antiwar groups shouldn’t “be seen” as “hand in glove.” But they are. The national Democratic party has become the puppet of antiwar groups. These groups do not merely accept-reluctantly–American defeat in the Middle East. They seek to hasten it. Some seem to welcome it.

The leaders of those groups believe their slow-bleed strategy is “kind of an ingenious thing.” In truth, it’s not really so “ingenious.” But it is disgraceful. In our judgment, it will fail as a political strategem, it will fail to derail the president’s policy–and we will ultimately prevail in Iraq. The slow-bleed strategy will, however, stain the reputation of its champions, and of the useful idiots in both parties who have gone along with it.

Bill Kristol isn’t right often enough. Perhaps this will be one of excellent prediction.
