Bill Buckley’s Crocodile Tears

Behold William F. Buckley, excuse maker. "One can’t doubt that the American objective in Iraq has failed," Buckley begins, stating what some of us knew six months before the invasion (neocons are slow learners). "Our mission has failed because Iraqi animosities have proved uncontainable by an invading army of 130,000 Americans," continues the former CIA agent. "The great human reserves that call for civil life haven’t proved strong enough. No doubt they are latently there, but they have not been able to contend against the ice men who move about in the shadows with bombs and grenades and pistols."

In other words, for Buckley and no doubt many of his neocon fellows, the Iraqis are incapable of "civil life," never mind the underpinnings of such a life were systematically shock and awed to smithereens. As is often documented here, the "ice men" work for the Pentagon, the CIA, and the British SAS. Others are criminals taking advantage of a terrible situation. Bill is unable to admit all of this because he believes, or expects us to believe, the Pentagon failed its "mission."

Of course, the Pentagon did not fail its mission. Its mission was to destroy Iraq and that is precisely what it did. Now it will attempt to destroy Iran, although that will be a tough nut to crack.

It is interesting to witness neocons in turmoil. For instance, Reuel Marc Gerecht, another former CIA operative, although it is said there is nothing former with the CIA—you’re in for life, unless you pushed pencils or swept floors.

Gerecht "now speaks of the bombing of the especially sacred Shiite mosque in Samara and what that has precipitated in the way of revenge," writes Bill. "He concludes that 'The bombing has completely demolished’ what was being attempted—to bring Sunnis into the defense and interior ministries."

1. W.F. Buckley=proud patrician Ivy League elitist snob, working for a party

catering to racist, sexist, superstitious, and religiously intolerant redneckery.

A marriage made in Hell.

[DBoon]

6. Patrician elitists running a political movement ...

.. with a base of the racist, sexist, superstitious, and religiously intolerant.

Where in the 20th century have we seen such political movements before?

2. Well...

I think he's at least got the creditablity to admit that he was wrong. It's not perfect but its more than what I have expected at least.

[seabeyond]

3. lets not forget iraq even gave us a bet of a honeymoon the first year

it was bushco's utter incompetence and greed and corruption that truly led to the failure. even the invasion itself was not the cause. it was the year proceeding the invasion that showed america was going to be able to fulfill their part of the deal

:crazy:

9. The moron *still* doesn't get it.

He infers that the occupation has failed because the Iraqis just haven't been able to grasp the democracy that the Bush Administration laid before them. It's the same old self-righteous, ethnocentric babble that enabled the neocons to begin with.

Iraq is a mess because of the Bush Administration's *disdain* for democracy. They sold an invasion with lies, ignored dissent, and, once *in* Iraq- chose to steal and follow their moronic ideology rather than address the real problems faced by the average Iraqi. They bungled everything, every time choosing profit over principle. There was never much chance of avoiding a civil war in Iraq, and any fool could see that before the invasion was begun. But the Bush Administration's incompetence, immorality, and criminality made it completely inevitable.

It's the corrupt neocon ideology, Mr. Buckley, you witless fucktard. It's not some failing of the Iraqi people.

10. Dean told them this months ago and was labeled as aiding and abetting

the enemy, coward, unpatriotic, unsupportive of our troops, a disgrace, and Bush said those who agreed with these sentiments were "irresponsible." Well, Mr. Buckley.....?

[TahitiNut]

12. Buckley's attitude sounds EXACTLY like the attitude of a representative

... of King George III writing about the "uncontainable animosities" of Native Americans and their "latent human reserves." The appalling arrogance of elitists with their heads buried so far up their privileged assholes they can't stop eating their own ... ideologies.
