Kristol: War Effort in Iraq Not "Serious"

William Kristol, chair of the neocon think tank Project For a New American Century (PNAC), told MSNBC's Chris Matthews on Sunday:

...we have not had a serious three-year effort to fight a war in Iraq as opposed to laying the preconditions for getting out.

(see the transcript at Think Progress and the video at Crooks and Liars)

I wonder if Rumsfeld's head just exploded.

Define "serious", Mr Kristol. I'd especially like you to define "serious" to the families and friends of the dead coalition soldiers and the thousands of Iraqis who have perished in this frivolous war of yours. While you're at it, why don't you rush right over to Iraq and give a presentation to the many Iraqi children who have been irreversibly wounded and maimed for life so they can understand what a "serious" war effort is all about too?
