Kristol, neoconservative editor of the Weekly Standard, would agree. Celebrating Netanyahu’s victory, Kristol <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/20/us/politics/israel-election-result-complicates-life-for-hillary-rodham-clinton.html?_r=0"><u>told</u></a> the New York Times, “It will strengthen the hawkish types in the Republican Party.” Kristol added that Netanyahu would win the GOP’s nomination, if he could run, because “Republican primary voters are at least as hawkish as the Israeli public.”   <a href="https://consortiumnews.com/2015/03/27/neocons-the-echo-of-german-fascism/">https://consortiumnews.com/2015/03/27/neocons-the-echo-of-german-fascism/</a></p> </blockquote> </div></div></div> Fri, 27 Mar 2015 16:29:43 +0000 A Guy Called LULU comment 206223 at http://dagblog.com All three of those are false. http://dagblog.com/comment/206031#comment-206031 <a id="comment-206031"></a> <p><em>In reply to <a href="http://dagblog.com/comment/206019#comment-206019">WHY I&#039;M DEPRESSED</a></em></p> <div class="field field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>All three of those are false.
