Reply #2: I missed most of it (the repeat). At least two callers brought PNAC

[oasis]

up to Kristol and he managed to talk his way around one.

The other called him a chickenhawk and then proceeded to pick apart Bush and PNAC's premptive doctrine. He asked what role PNAC had in WH policy. Kristol has realized that the public is now informed on PNAC and takes a cavalier approach in defending its policies.

Kristol seemed a bit uneasy and was constantly clearing his throat during his reply to most of the callers that I heard.

On the question of Wilson's wife being exposed by Novak, Kristol attempted to water down the issue by saying the investigation would take some time before the identity of the leaker was known. He said the actions of the leaker were "illegal" but not "criminal". Kristol went on to chide Novak for releasing the identity of Ms.Plame. He also said Bush should ask his close associates where the leak came from.(lotsa luck)

I'm going to check back later after the congressional sessions for a repeat. It's well worth watching and give an insightful perspective on the mindset of the neocon imperialists.
