Ron Paul Continues His Assault on Rudy Giuliani
realtime-paul.jpg  If Rudy Giuliani thought he silenced Ron Paul at the FOX News debate — by displaying his own ignorance, ironically — he was sadly mistaken. The remarks may have drawn loud applause, but they were factually inaccurate and Ron Paul continues to hammer him for it.

Kristol was furious too. How dare anybody from the White House discuss this! A common tactic with RW hack pundits like William is to make bogus predictions, but say them in an even tone that makes their ideas sound almost plausible. He says that:

That's not a comedy routine folks. Maybe Will didn't get the call from his WH pals about

Training Iraqi troops, which had been the cornerstone of the Bush administration’s Iraq policy since 2005, has dropped in priority, officials in Baghdad and Washington said.
Kristol is a joke that's not Joe Klein–is always wrong—helps to perpetuate a dismal foreign policy—it goes on and on—and is rewarded with a plump TIME magazine column. Think Progress has more
