George Will calls out the "stab in the back" crowd.

Here's Will on "This Week" yesterday (via podcast at iTunes):
WILL: We are in danger of having, George, a Weimar moment in our politics. German politics was embittered disastrously by the belief that they were on the cusp of victory in 1918 and were stabbed in the back by the civilian leadership that didn't understand Germany's military prowess. There is a constituency in this town that believes we're winning in Iraq, that we have at last figured it out, that the indices of success are there. And if we pull out and have the kind of disastrous consequences, telegenic disastrous consequences or could have, we're going to have people saying, "We had it won and threw it away."
George Will is very excitable and shrill -- just of a piece with his behavior lately.
