William Kristol on Iraq: Wrong, wrong, wrong: 2003-7

Here is a great blog post chronicling how wrong Kristol has been, over and over again.

Why is he on TV, in print, or anywhere at all, given this track record?

Here's a snippet:

Kristol has indeed been so consistently wrong that one can safely discount his current euphoria on the principle that even a stopped clock is right twice a day....But on the other hand, it turns out that anyone who wanted to understand Washington and Iraq during the last four years should have been reading Kristol. In detailing the arguments raging in Washington-arguments in which he has emerged as one of the victors-he was way ahead of me, and of just about anyone else that I can remember. The man may be an ideologue who has been repeatedly wrong, but he's well-connected and very much in tune with President Bush, and during the last four years he has triumphed over his enemies in the bureaucracy and the older generation-leaving the American people, of course, stuck with the bill.
