Krauthammer on Iraq.

3:10 pm — 

Yes, he’s called for invasion of Syria and Iran. Yes, he’s controversial. Yeah, maybe calling some of his writings outageous (see Syria and Iran) would be an adequate assesment.

In spite of all this, I read columnist Charles Krauthammer consistently because some of his foreign policy writings can be the opposite of what I said above. Occasionally, he’s spot on.

In the link below, he’s not quite spot on - I personally believe he glorifies achievements in Iraq a little too much. But his line on Petraeus is great. And as an initial war critic but someone who now believes we need to stay in Iraq, I say the following: the last few paragraphs are indeed spot on in regards to a major hole in the arguments of current war critics. Whether, you’re for staying or against, I guaruntee the last paragraphs will make you think. Enough chat, if you want to read about Iraq, read this article!
