War-loving chicken hawk Bill Kristol, who is always wrong, reaches impressive new personal high in self-parody

Bill Kristol, the neoconservative editor of the Weekly Standard and all-around person who is wrong about everything, is frustrated at the pace of overseas bombing thus far.

He complained last week about how Obama was being too slow to bomb, even though Obama had already started bombing ISIS targets in Iraq. The bombing continues and has now surpassed 100 bombings since early this month. It is not only not clear when this bombing in Iraq will stop, but the administration is taking surveillance flights over Syria to eye out potential targets for strikes there, too — a direction in which the Obama administration appears to be leaning.

In other words, once the seal was broken and, for however noble the purpose, the Obama administration decided to start bombing to help those trapped on Mount Sinjar, escalation began. It’s unclear what the administration’s broader goal is in Iraq — stop a massacre here or there? Kill off ISIS? — and, if and when it goes into Syria, what the goals will be there. All of these things should be major causes of consideration for the administration, Congress and the rest of the country before the United States military ends up entrenched in a war covering two nations that suck.

That’s one opinion, at least. And then there’s Bill Kristol’s opinion, which is only a few synonyms away from “bomb first, ask questions later”:
