"He might try to do something."

When Hugh Hewitt and Bill Kristol get together, the wankery flows like wine.

HH: ...My question is, Bill Kristol, do you think it is possible, not even likely, but just possible that the Bush administration will take military action against Iran in their last year?

BK: I think it’s possible. I think people were a little too quick after that National Intelligence Estimate came out, which was, I think, an attempt by the intelligence agencies to prevent the Bush administration from sort of seriously considering taking action. And I think people were too quick to say ooh, that rules it out, you know, they’re just paralyzed for the next year. I think this president, you know, he’s not perfect or anything, but if he thinks that there’s, that if Iran is on the verge of getting nuclear weapons, that in turn endangers fundamentally any hopes for peace and stability and progress in the Middle East, and maybe beyond, endangers the U.S., endangers our allies, would lead to a nuclear arms race in that part of the world, I don’t know that the President would say oh, this is unpopular, or oh, I’ve been told I can’t do this. He might try to do something. Now I’m worried that, you know, he’s allowed, he hasn’t made the case.

If I may quote Garfield: You think you've hit rock bottom, and then someone throws you a shovel.
