Groundhog Day

Bill Kristol, founder of The Weekly Standard, and one of those exceptionally wrong fellows who talked famously about "American soldiers being greeted with flowers by liberated Iraqis" (or something to that effect), says today (as if the Iraq war never happened) that the Iranian people would support an American invasion if it was "the right use of targeted force."

No, seriously: This is reportedly one of the great thinkers of the modern Right.

C'mon! I'm an idiot, and even I can grasp the fact that if you say something about Iraq and it turns out to be the exact opposite, if you say the same thing about Iran, it's a 100% certainty that it also will turn out to be the exact opposite.

"Americans will be greeted as liberators in Iraq because they don't like Saddam! Oh. Whoops. Well then! Americans will be greeted as liberators in Iran! After all, they really don't like their leaders."
