| Colbert shakes up Bill Kristol over PNAC ties  Bill Kristol, who is one of the major players in the group called PNAC, joined the set of the "Colbert Report," and I think was taken off guard right at the outset of the show because he had to answer questions that our media never asks. PNAC envisioned America attacking the Middle East since the middle '90's and for some inexplicable reason (that was a joke) the media never questions him or his members which have lined the walls of Bush's cabinet about PNAC and how it influenced our foreign policy, which led us to attack Iraq.
Colbert immediately called him on it and Kristol was quite embarrassed talking about it. Video-WMP Video-QT Colbert: Speaking of thinking alike, you were a member, or are a member of the New Project for the American Century, correct? Kristol: I am. Colbert: Were or am, am? Kristol: Were and am. Colbert: How's that project coming? Kristol: well. it's..(stammering) Colbert: How's the New American Century, looks good to me? Kristol: Ahh--I think...hehe yea--I'm speechless.. Colbert: Really? Kristol: Yea...we've sort of...the Project for the New American Century is just a few people.. Colbert: Come on, it’s a terrific New American Century, right? Kristol: Well I think we do OK. Colbert: You Rummy Wolfowitz, Cheney, Pearle, Feith, all you guys right? Kristol (responds timidly): Well, we fought back after 9/11.. Just watch as Colbert turns every argument Bill has made about the Iraq war around on his head. As Pac says: "He left Kristol smoldering in ashes." full transcript |
