where Kristol points out the unwillingness of Democratic leadership and
candidates to admit that the surge has worked....

You ask us to trust this guy's judgment?

We see how you go wrong time & time again -- you trust the wrong people.

=====
In 2005, Kristol caused controversy by praising President George W. Bush's
second inaugural address without disclosing his role as a consultant to the
writing of the speech. Kristol praised the speech in his role as a regular
political contributor during FOX's coverage of the address, as well as in a
Weekly Standard article, without disclosing his involvement in the speech
either time.[7]



On January 2, 2007, David Corn of The Nation, posted a list of Kristol's
pre-Iraq war statements "about the justification for the war, the costs of
the war, the planning for the war, and the consequences of the war."[9] Corn
concluded that "Kristol displayed little judgment or expertise ... [I]n an
effectively functioning market of opinion-trading, Kristol's views would be
relegated to the bargain basement."
